I thought all those Indian reservations were more blue. What gives? Do Indians vote red typically?

The same thing not in common with the blue counties in Alabama…
Cue the LBJ quote.

Cherokee here, I don't live on, never have lived on a Res. I also have never voted for liberal. One Cousin in my family voted wrong and that is because she is dating an idiot.

The little blue county in North East Wisconsin is basically Indian reservation.

Because OK is awesome, I’ve built projects all over the country. Oklahoma has great people, southern manners, midwestern work ethic and oilfield attitude. Apparently they also vote well.

I wasn’t surprised to see Door County blue but some of those ones way up north I guess I didn’t expect anything but Red.

I don't know very many, but EVERY native I know or have ever had contact with, from a few different tribes here in Michigan, are huge liberals. They might be conservative about some things, but they vote D every time.

I was the 6th generation to farm the same plot of land in rural western Illinois.

It was hard to move, but its worth it to breathe that free air every day.

Beats me, I vote republican.

I don't live or ever lived on a rez, I speak my tribe's language and follow our way.

Every day I step into the white world to go to work and speak American english.

K-State and KU counties went blue (sad in K-State land, Manhattan,  but expected in KU-Lawrence)

Other county is a bunch of rich ass Karen's in Overland Park...KC Suburb.

Freaking hive mind city dwellers are everywhere.

Except Oklahoma.
Way to go!

As someone who lives in a state with several real reservations, I find the concept of Rez populations voting R completely foreign and perplexing.

How can they vote in a US election? Isn't that a another country to them?

there are alot of D's in the Tribes.

Eastern OK and Southern OK were once total yellow dog territory.
that changed after Bill Clinton.

NAFTA took alot of Ag and the .Gov really pissed off people.

my entire family
Mother/Step Dad
Father/Step Mom
Brother

are YELLOW DOGS to the core.

my wife, self and son are the only R's.

our Indian Tribes are totally different than the Tribes in other states on many levels, ( especially the 5 Civilized Tribes)
a ton of white blood in their veins for 400 years.

Because wealthy California/East Coast liberals don't want to live there.

Utah used to be all red too, until the liberal carpetbaggers moved in.

It seems like it is a mixed bag to this Arkie outsider who travels around it a fair bit.

A good friend of mine married a Choctaw girl and moved out there to live on her families land in the hills west of Hochatown.

Her family comes across as very conservative, and her father served and was very proud of it.

Indians aren't a monolith, but the traditional types do tend to lean conservative. More than whites or any other ethnicity for that matter. Strong family and spiritual values, and wanting to be left alone from the government. Seems most have not forgotten the Indian Removal Act and a variety of other government overeach

Number 1 demo that went for Orange Caesar were the Natives, 65%, no other demo was over 51%.
Guess they like him.
Or hate "women of color".

Just how many millions of "illegal immigrants" did Trump vow he'd "send home"?  

We Natives know the Biggest Truth.  

Never ever give up your Guns to the Government.
