It's a trope that is/was used by the right.  I've talked about it before (yet you forgot...hmmmm) and used the related topic of the first female PM in Australia as an example of how a country can say "See!?!?  We're not (fill in the blank)!  We did this thing once!"  I never saw the island of Hawaii in person but I've seen pictures and know people who have been there so I can't say it's not real so you'll just have to take my word for it.

You were confused by my post when you said the same thing I did.

Yeah, I forget sometimes that irony and sarcasm (sometimes both) are lost on some people.  Don't take it so seriously.
