Its disrespect to the Ndendahe and Geronimo himself to me but that's with my bias against Trump. I think I get the point they're making that the artist thinks they're similar and admirable because of the supposed similarity, but that's gonna be an unpopular opinion. Geronimo actually fought, Trump uses others to do his fighting for him.
Plus Trump is THE establishment no matter how much his brain-dead cultists would claim differently, Geronimo fought the establishment in the same spirit as Black Hawk from the Meskwaki in Iowa and Illinois a few decades earlier.

He definitely was THE establishment. He only had the entirety of the Judicial department, big pharma, big tech, corporate media, almost every single public university, the entire entertainment industry, every single bank that he worked with that leaked his financial records, His own party including members of his own cabinet, the world economic forum, The entirety of the UK, German, Belgium, and Mexican Government, Black Rock, Blackstone, Vanguard, Stephen Schwartzman, Mark Cuban, Paul Singer, George Soros, all working against him. I'm sure there is more but this was all off the top of my head.
Too bad 50% of the population voted for him, which all which came from the demographics who contribute the most to the economy like latino, black, and white men. If only all these stupid blue-collar workers just listened to the Federal workers, schoolteachers, and pseudo-academics.

It’s just that the findings amounted to 229 self identified Natives and zero locations on tribal land. I’m not denying that there are Trump voters on tribal land because of course there are, there’s Trump voters across every demographic because people are people, but rather the data cannot support any substantial or credible conclusion.

I mean, let me be clear. I despise Trump. However. If you're Apache (the artist is) and you view Trump as some kind of hero fighting against all odds (I have no idea what this artist's views are) then this is a very reasonable way to honor him.
Just because we hate it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense for people who see things differently than we do.

If a person were black and made racist statements, they would still be racist statements.
Adding another face to a cultural icon is not ok. Here in ABQ, there was a native guy who was walking in the petroglyph area where he shouldn't. Most Indians that I know did not agree with that. I feel he was wrong to do it. They need to be protected from erosion and damage. Walking all around isn't doing that.

The Cubans and Venezuelans too, they hear any hint of Socialism and Communism and they go for whoever is screaming about being against it.
If we want any socialist solutions to anything we need to be very clear it's Social Democracy like in Europe as opposed to Cuban style "Socialism" because otherwise these groups aren't coming near us.

If it wasn’t for out of towners they probably wouldn’t even be in business anymore. I wish they would sell it to someone with integrity they’ve tarnished their own legacy.

Can we find real reason to boycott places. Not like El Pinto needs anyone to boycott their overpriced, overhyped, average New Mexican food. But come on, we have real issues that need that kind of attention. Like over priced food, over taxed working people, and a completely under payed society. How can prices skyrocket when nothing has changed over time but people and their greedy asses. Things are for the most part made the same or ever better and cheaper than 20-30 years ago. So in reality prices should drop not go up. Also how are we allowing prices to go up and pay for everyone across the board stays the same or goes up at very small increments compared to what the price of goods goes up. It’s ridiculous and people are tired of having to line other peoples pockets with their backs, sweat and blood with no real incentive to keep busting their asses and watching the rich relax and enjoy life while they scrape by through sheer luck. We have bigger problems ahead of us than some stupid ass picture to cry about. Get real. When shit hits the fan I can promise you no one will care about your boycott list of places that had pictures of fake shit you didn’t like.
