I don’t know whether Hawaii is in a socialist spiral, but death is treated so matter-of-fact here. A state where abortions are sometimes encouraged by Planned Parenthood, where assisted suicides are allowed and where murders have increased. Whether one is an atheist or an agnostic, killing oneself has been done so often it’s almost a merit badge. According to most religions I am familiar with, those who choose this way are not heaven-bound.

Of course, the main ingredient lacking is courage and guts from any level of leadership.

While I would not be surprised if this state voted for Kamala Harris, don’t forget that Democrats won the 2020 election and are the reason so many horrifying things are happening here.

But for those who have money, they don’t care: Keep control and stay in power no matter the cost.
