MAGA Attacks On Arizona's Native Americans

 

     New Mexico is the state with the highest proportion of Native American residents, and it is increasingly turning blue. In Wisconsin, Native reservations have support for Democrats on par with so-called "hippy havens" like California and Illinois. Why could this be?

     A good example would be when cocky, preppy teenage Trump supporters attending a Catholic school in Kentucky attacked a Native American elder in Washington, D.C. While involved in a conflict regarding abortion, the elder tried to intervene to ease tensions. In response, the teen verbally assailed the elder and told him to, "Go back where he came from." As a man who fought encroachments on Native American rights and a man who experienced separation from his tribe in an attempt to cleanse his heritage, it was devastating.

     The teen later tried to play victim, claiming he was doing nothing wrong and he doesn't tolerate racism. That may be because no person of color has ever been allowed to attend a private Catholic university, so he doesn't know what racism is (sarcasm obviously intended). 

     The Arizona GOP has decided on the "America First" trajectory that paints white Americans as victims of being involved in foreign affairs. Native Americans who had their land taken and rights stripped from them, including many individuals who are still alive today, find this laughable.
