@MissConstrue Genuine info request: I need to dissuade some relatives from visiting the US, but specifically #Hawaii.

We’re Australian. Family members that we often holiday with had a great time in Hawaii some years ago and were advocating we all go there. I said I’m not visiting the USA while Trump and the Trumpets are in power. #BoycottUSA.

They argue that Hawaii is different - and it *is* - the political/philosophical distance from Mar-a-Lago is matched by the physical distance. But it is nonetheless still a part of the USA. I can dream they might succeed, but that certainly isn’t the current case.

Admittedly, the idiot’s recent moves have kind of solved the issue in that the family also realises that Hawaii is a military target now (remember Pearl Harbour, etc.) - but I am keen on further information or anecdotes I can use to show them that Hawaii definitely counts as part of avoiding travel to the USA in these ridiculous times.

Hawaiians: sorry, while yours is one of the very few parts of the USA I might otherwise consider visiting, I have to rule out seeing your islands and people for the foreseeable future. I hope you understand.
