Hawaii was the first state to block Trump's new travel ban. So now Trump supporters are urging a boycott of Hawaii.
Much like the laughable Hamilton boycott, this is just idiotic on it's face. Not only can you NOT boycott something you weren't able to get to/use anyway, people are not considering the everyday things they use from Hawaii and how a serious boycott would actually affect them.
Want to eat guacamole? NOPE! You're boycotting that now, along with coffee, macadamia nuts, bananas, guavas, papayas, and tomatoes. No pineapple on your pizza either.
Well, what about a night at the movies? Have fun avoiding Dwayne Johnston, the best-paid star in Hollywood. Also no Game or Thrones of Justice League for you, thanks to Jason Momoa.
You can't even drown your sorrows in soda; Hawaii makes a LOT of cane sugar. Which is in pretty much everything. No tuna fish, no cotton cloth, or special spam recipes either.
"Boycotters" need to admit it: #BoycottHawaii is just saber rattling. They're not going to bother to check where these things come from, or pay more to get non-Hawaiian versions of them. And good luck to them trying explaining how Moana is evil to their kids. See how far that gets you.
Oh, and just in case they are able to avoid ALL these things, Maryland has also stopped the ban. Yet (gasp!) I don't see anyone saying #BoycottMaryland and it's fine output of crabs and planes. It's almost like a bunch of racists seized on a state they were never going to visit anyway, just to be part of an echo chamber!
And as for the possible lost tourism? I think this sums it up pretty well:

This guy made Aquaman cool, damnit!

Though like pineapple, this will hit some harder than others.

Ha! They can't buy those things anyway, cause they are still boycotting Target. lol! My eyes have gotten really buff from all the eye rolling workouts they've been doing lately. SMH. Makes me want to go to Hawaii. ;-)
