It feels like there are tons of Trump supporters coming out of hiding here....or maybe these months of insane lockdowns and putting over 1300 small business out of business was what the people of Hawaii needed to finally wake up.

Almost everyone I know here that is paying attention is on the Trump train, unfortunately still a lot that don't pay attention and just do as they are told.

Hawai'i has only ever been a solid Democrat state because almost nobody votes and the only real party there is the Democrat party. Republicans simply don't bother to support a party there.

If you can actually get Hawaiians to vote, they would likely not vote along any party lines, just for whoever did the best by them at the time. They have long memories, a natural hatred of politics, and deep loyalty for anyone who is a friend to them.

If they are showing up to rally and vote, it means Trump's policies have had a major effect on their lives, which is rare. Normally whoever the nation puts in Washington doesn't matter one way or another to the lives of most Hawaiians. And likewise, the political parties don't care about Hawaiians.
