bro hawaii isn’t even a good comparison. if you want a good comparison look at puerto rico. pr is one of the last true u.s. territories. not a state, a territory. it’s people don’t get federal representation but still are under our thumb. free pr.

ehh… i think that should be up to the people of pr. either make them a state and give them proper representation in the house and the senate or let them be their own country. it is fundamentally unamerican to deny the self-actualization of the people of pr.

from a values perspective its fundamentally unamerican, from a history perspective it is unfortunately pretty american. i agree though w the caveat that they would need economic independence to be able to be their own country and since we made them dependent we should help them be independent again so they can actually make that choice
