How in the hell did trump win this county with the following demographics?

Robeson County, North Carolina
Trump won this county 50-46 over hillary clinton, despite the county being only 32% white, one of the most non-white counties outside urban areas.
He was the first republican to win the county since 1972. Obama won it by 18 points in 2012.
What did hilldawg do to piss off the native american vote?

38.02% Native American
32.80% White
25.11% Black or African-American
4.86% Hispanic or Latino of any race
0.33% Asian
0.06% Pacific Islander
2.26% from other races
1.41% from two or more races

My uneducated guess?
1. Native Americans tend to be a bit more conservative than most people give them credit for.
2. Native Americans are pretty low on the Hierarchy of Racial Grievance

Indians aren't allowed to vote. Duh

they're very high, actually
they're so low on the typical societal totem pole that you immediately rank them low on the grievance pole due to this bias
natives basically live in squalor

If I'm not mistaken, trump visited Lumberton on one of his campaign stops right after all that flooding. Hillary did not...

I'd say, though, that while out of all the aggrieved minorities that have the most legitimacy, their problems and "squalor" are largely self-induced.

Same reason Mich, Penn, and Wisconsin went Trump. They believed his lies.

i dunno. it's a terrible example of how fostering their guilt complex ended up fricking them over (by maintaining that reservation-welfare system). basically sapped their humanity by giving into their guilt trips
i will tell you this, though...of all the groups i've ever argued with online, the natives may be the most annoying. they truly believe this land was "stolen" and what happened to their tribes was the first time in human history a lesser opponent lost land. they even ignore how their ancestors were once conquerers with insane logic or re-shaping history entirely

It's much the same thing as blacks on welfare. The truth is that people atrophy under government assistance. The natives' culture may have been destroyed through warfare, but over-subsidizing their subsequent living conditions ruined their dignity. Well, that and booze.

Their victim mentality is not dissimilar to Hispanics who feel that the "border crossed them." The truth is that White Anglo-Saxons, while being a typical western civilization with a manifest destiny mentality, are BY FAR the most accommodating civilized people to govern over another group. For those that disagree, I say see the below sig.

1) Who actually voted?
2) I bet a lot of those Injuns are pretty much white people.

To quote Chris Rock:
"I mean, let's face it: white guys cannot box! Black guys fight better. Puerto Ricans fight even better. I guess the lower you go on the social ladder, the better you fight. For every good Puerto Rican fighter, there's an American Indian waiting to kick his arse!"
