I really wonder how many refugees end up in states with a democrat governor? My thinking is not many.

Sounds like a good place for another Gitmo as long as we do not throw off the balance and tump over the islands

Hawaii wasn't heavily Democrat back then. Territorial Hawaii had long been dominated by White Yankees.

Hawaii sent a Republican, Hiram Fong, to the Senate. It was Alaska that sent all Democrats to Washington.

It was only after the Japanese got involved in politics in a big way that Hawaii was reliably Democrat. But people didn't know that back in 1959-1960

If what you say is true, then I have been misinformed. I don't recall exactly where I read that, but it seemed reliable at the time. In any case I know that the two states were brought into the Union at the same time as a Package deal.

Old Mr. Hanalei’s grandfather said to never go to the ancient burial ground. So I never go!

You've got that backwards. Alaska was the solid Democrat territory (had not elected a GOP Delegate since 1930, and would not elect a House Republican until 1966 or to the Senate until 1968, and that only because the incumbent Dem died and Ted Stevens was appointed to the vacancy).

Hawaii (until the 1950s) was Republican and except for one instance in 1932, didn't elect a Democrat Delegate from 1924 until 1956. Republicans didn't want AK admitted and Democrats (especially Southern Dems) didn't want Hawaii sending Asian Republicans.

That is the opposite of what I've read, but since you are the second person to inform me that I have the parties flipped, I must conclude I have remembered it backwards, or that it was backwards when I read it.

Hawaii has a dreadful homeless problem and they want more people?

At least if they go there they can’t just hop on a bus and go to other states.

The governor is planning to subject the citizens of Hawaii to some governmental S&M (syrian and muslim).

It was unfortunate that by the time Hawaii became a state, it was already trending hard-left Democrat (Dan Inouye had participated in the 1954 “Revolution” which flipped the HI House from GOP to Democrat, for which has never gone back).

The GOP only got 1 Senate seat out of it in the 1959 statehood special elections (Chinese-American Hiram Fong), and narrowly lost (51-48%) the other seat (Japanese-American Republican Wilfred C. Tsukiyama to Haole Democrat ex-Gov. Oren Long). Leftist Dem Dan Inouye kept the sole House seat and handily took the Senate seat in 1962 when Oren Long stepped down and remained in office for the next 50 years.

Why am I not surprised by this? I posted earlier that I was wondering if my idiot state would something like this. Never mind that the homeless are coming here by the boatload!
