Yeeeah, no. The president's a figurehead and the two party system is just a Montague vs. Capulet puppet show. Doesn't matter which little manikin is bouncing around on the stage, if the wealthy and powerful want something done, it will be pushed, regardless of historical norms of party conduct.

Gang violence mostly gets confined to gangs, kemosabe. Local dicks don't care about dirt-poor kids flying colours beefing and offing each other, regardless of the amount of melanin in their skin.
Someone with connections to money and power, on the other hand, wanders through the wrong neighborhood and worse happens to them than getting rolled, that ruins the party for everyone.
Hell, even rolling them's bad for business, as the obviously wealthy ones are probably there to BUY, and will be a much more lucrative revenue stream if you play nice.
Do you not understand the basics of capitalism and protected markets, nigga?
