Thanks to all the people posting with first-hand knowledge, it’s invaluable to those of us who are as likely to go to Hawaii as we are to Mars. Double thanks to the bloke with the history lesson!
As for the movement itself, I’d like to see them try it...put up minefields around the military bases and blockade the island. Let’s see their little nation be so brave and proud when they are utterly cut off from outside food and trade sources and have no tourism. Within 2 weeks at most they will literally be back at the level of loincloths and log rafts with no hope of breaking the blockade.
Or if we don’t want to wait for that, let them have their ‘independence’ for about 24 hours and then kill everyone of fighting age, no surrender accepted, and Hawaii is ours again by simple conquest. Tada!
Update - Scotus rules against this election.
