Hawaii is a bastion of the Democratic Party. The Legislature is largely Democratic. There is only one liberal newspaper. Two-thirds of the people typically vote Democrat.
Plantation thinking runs deep in Hawaii. It will be difficult for the people to learn to think as individuals. They have been well-trained to follow the leaders. Democrat leaders like it that way. The one thing that unites them is hatred for Donald Trump. They call him every name in the book: Hitler, dictator, crazy, unstable, weak. Those names, however, are projections. He was none of those things while president. He improved the economy. The world was stable and without new wars. Regulations were reduced; businesses did well. NATO paid its fair share of defense obligations.
Was there political turmoil during his administration? Yes, caused by Democrats trying to impeach him, twice. Now, that was crazy.
