To all the Flu Klux Klanners protesting to open businesses:

Most of us do not want to open.

Most of our employees do not want to come in to work when this virus is spreading so fast obviously.

We don’t want to either.

If the Governor shuts us for business we can go home. If not we’re stuck at work with no customers, little or no money, spotty scheduling at best and oh yeah, the virus.

Why are you guys trying to kill us?

The Republicans already know they're going to lose in 2020 and are in the process of stealing

Everything including the doorknobs and will strip this whole country down to the paint on the walls if we let them.

Now that its obvious to everyone including them, don’t let them take it. They want to leave a barren smoking crater for Biden and the Democrats again.

I have our red state bumper sticker: Trump cares no more for you, than he cares for poop on his shoe

You are welcomed to it. Feel free to revise to include the original expletive.

When they go low, he goes lower, but we rise up.

Rise up!

There's a (foreign) call to protest in Honolulu that stole a Black Lives Matter photo.

The poster reads

The Government does not have the authority to control us!

The right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances

(Pic obviously lifted from Black Lives Matter protest including a dude in a Phillies hat, w text reading:

Ku’oko’a Rally (Freedom)

Friday 5 pm Ala Moana Park

The quarantine is illegal! Small businesses have the right to determine their own hours!

Then the kicker:
“Bring signs and bullhorns and aloha”

To which Kumu Hina scorched:

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS EFFORT!
HEWA LOA!!!!

I know that we are all getting frustrated with having to stay home, avoid hugging and kissing and isolating ourselves...
But I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO.
I don’t know who did this announcement but could you please use your own language instead of my/our Kanaka language!!!
If we use Kū’oko’a it would be for freedom of Hawai’i from the United States.
It would not be used in this context so don’t get it twisted. This looks more like cultural appropriation.

Why would any Kanaka leader have our people expose ourselves unnecessarily to COVID19 while it still runs around stealing and taking from our people??

And I believe I see all the Haole Popolo in the photo here. This is not a Kanaka effort, this photo looks like its from a Black Lives Matter event.

I DON’T SUPPORT THIS AT ALL.

Btw...we don’t write stuff like Bring signs, bullhorn and aloha. Das Bullshit. Use your own words dude!

TO ALL OF MY PEOPLE...STAY HOME!!

(To anyone who read this far please know there is no negativity associated with the term Haole Popolo)

It makes no sense to at the same time cut polling places from 180 to 5

In the middle of a lethal epidemic and say voting must be done in one day unless the intention is to suppress the vote. This is vile and it is how we lost 2016. Russia hurt. Bro’s Burt. Voter suppression cost is hundreds of thousands of votes and it was done exactly like this, minus the lethal virus.

FUCKERS need to be permanently out of power.
