Why do such a large majority of native Americans continually vote dem when they continually fail them but hate people like Trump? Someone please help me understand this. (Was just having a disagreement with a NA buddy)

I can't speak for the NA community, but I'll give my two cents. For the past 50-odd years, Dems have made a concerted effort to paint themselves as the "compassionate" party that's focused on "helping" the people. Every single form of help they offer is by way of welfare in some manner: food stamps, govt plans, unemployment, "reparations". Contrast that with conservative philosophies like small government, personal responsibility, and lower taxes and it's easy to see how Dems have villified the right to minorities.
"Republicans are the party of rich, white men who don't want you educated, prosperous, or independent. Vote blue and we'll bring real change!"
Just like with everything else, the Democrat tactic is to accuse others of what THEY'RE guilty of.
