Remember when Trump bulldozed sacred Native American land in the Southwest to build his stupid wall?

Apparently they remembered on election day.

You want to know how much the Navajo Nation dislikes trump?

1. of the 85,000 registered voters on Navajo 76,000 voted. 89% turn out

2. Of those 76,000 voters 74,000 voted for Biden & 2,000 for Trump...

1. Kamala was a good choice

2. I hope someone points this out to trump.

Of course then trump would attack them, but I think they could handle ITV

3. That's going to leave a mark on Orangesicle bc he is jealous of Native Americans for their casino

success, given that his own experience with casino ownership has mostly been an unmitigated disaster.

4. Watch this to better appreciate...

the effects of the trump administration (and the Koch’s and Exxon and every other extraction industry) has had on the U.S. Native American people.

There is one young woman in particular, watching news reports/commentary on a video monitor...her head shaking...struggling mightily to retain composure...a young man that tries so hard to explain the importance of the lands to his people, knowing that those he is talking to have absolutely no interest.

This is truly one of the greatest documentaries I have seen...please watch.

8. Thank you for this recommendation. I'm unfamiliar with the film,

but am very interested in the subject.

Bookmarking for later viewing.

10. The beautiful vast treasures of our country...

I don’t really have the vocabulary to express what I am trying to say...it sounds so “conspiracy theory” except they don’t try to hide it, they will plainly state it when asked...

there is a large group...the Koch’s, the Bundy’s, ALL of the extraction industries...that stridently disagree with the concept of public lands in any form. One politician in the film plainly states...what part of the public lands are MINE, ‘cause I want to sell it!

5. Smarter than non-college whites for sure.

6. A great big thank you to the Navajo and other tribes

So the Dine had 89 percent turnout and 97 percent for Biden. No group can top that.

Tribes like the Oneida and Ojibwe helped make the difference in Wisconsin.

11. Face it

If it were up to white folks (of which I'm one), this country would be a cesspool.
Thanks to the Navajo nation, to African Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities whose judgment far exceeds that of white people.
