Many many locals are very conservative in their values. Problem is they DON'T VOTE...
Plantation mentality, don't rock the boat, mind your own business, etc.
Then all we have left is a few of us that do vote, and the rest is mainland leftist transplants that know better than you what is right... that amounts to less than 1/4th of this State's population telling you how to live your life.... sad. This is why unless people wake up, this state will continue down the shithole.
Seeing reactions on social media such as Stolen Stuff Hawaii gives me a tiny tiny bit of hope, however, people have a notoriously short attention span and election during election season, with the help of Hawaii's propaganda news machine, the politicians stay quiet, pass out freebies, etc....it's hard to say if anything will ever change for the better.
