The ramifications of grievance-driven policies are stark: economic stagnation, declining educational outcomes, and rising criminality in communities of color. Obama’s approach, which typically favored increased government intervention, did not yield positive outcomes—instead, it often fostered conditions that exacerbated these issues.
