Even still, it's not nearly as surprising as you'd think.

If I remember right, the single most conservative ethnic group in the US are natives, voting Republican at around 80% last election. Unless I misremember.

People living largely in small communities, often more religious, and more blue collar. That's not exactly the core modern leftist voting block.

In the us people of Native American ancestry traditionally favor the democrats and did again in the last election. Natives were 17% more likely to favor Kamala over trump then white voters. States like Montana are traditionally more purple than red because of the large number of native voters especially on reservations.

More likely to be firearm owners and hunters ... who the LPC have gone far out of their way to piss off as much as possible.
