Liberals suffer from cognitive dissonance. They know their political views are wrong but they stick with them anyway.
NDN Collective is an indigenous-led activist and advocacy organization based in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA.[1] Founded in 2018, NDN Collective works with more than 200 Indigenous-led groups in the U.S.[2] NDN Collective's mission is "Build the
collective power of Indigenous Peoples, communities, and Nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination, while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and the planet." and includes “defend: our
people, communities, and nations; develop: Indigenous communities in a regenerative and sustainable manner, and decolonize: our minds, communities, and sovereign nations.”[3] According to president and CEO Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota), NDN Collective
has “an overall strategy to shift power, decolonize wealth, and resource Indigenous people who are on the front lines of fighting for justice and equity.” [4] NDN is operated entirely by Indigenous leadership, board, and staff that come from over 25
Tribal Nations. [5]

From their point of view Mt Rushmore is part of the land that was stolen from them.

I checked out the NDN collective's position on the military. Everyone can relax, except for our jive ass clumsy dodger and the rest of the absolutists. They will never figure this out and Fakes News is counting on it. The NDN is not campaigning
for a complete elimination of the American military establishment. What they are clearly opposed to is the use of the American military to suppress indigenous people and support colonization. That's just an amazing position for a native American group to
take considering how well they have been treated by the American military.
"NDN COLLECTIVE’S POSITION ON MILITARIZATION"
"Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly,
the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.

The whole thing is far beyond JACD's attention span and his ability to comprehend. The short explanation is that calling for an end of "militarization" is not the same thing as calling for a complete end of the American military establishment.
Nobody needs to convince me that Target is far too woke for conservatives. It must be tough for them. They're running out of places to shop and things to drink. (Is water woke? It appears to accept everyone.) But the Fakes News propaganda machine
has a long way to go if you want to convince me that Target is anti-American.
