    It would be up to the people who live there to figure out how to run things. This is certainly not an argument for US to continue occupying them.

      how is it an “occupation” when Hawaiians themselves voted to become a state by a 94+% majority?

      On June 27, 1959, a referendum asked residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on the statehood bill; 94.3% voted in favor of statehood and 5.7% opposed it. (source)

        note the dates. it was forcibly annexed by a coup government. the later vote to join as a state took place well afterwards

          the facts don’t support your assertions. even if they did, it’s irrelevant because….

          the later vote to join as a state took place well afterwards

          just as I said and the facts I gave support. since 94% of people voted to become a state, no rational person would call it an “occupation”.

            lmao you illiterate jackass. a sham vote to join a nation that overthrew your actual government by a bunch of people who moved there specifically to move the needle on that exact vote means nothing. christ, you liberals really love white nationalism as much as the flag fuckers do

                trolling is when you know more about history than your average liberal white supremacist
