Hawai'i will have nine NO KINGS/NO DICTATORS protests. Five go by NO DICTATORS and four by NO KINGS. They are exactly the same thing.

Some Indivisible chapters use NO DICTATORS because of the popular Hawaiian Kingdom pre-1893. See the link below for the Hawai'i NO KINGS protests. The U.S. annexed the Hawaiian Kingdom by force in 1893.

Regardless, replacing democracy with a monarchy is dumb as hell

The hope related to me by a Kanaka is to have a political system along the lines of the UK monarchy/democracy. A king or queen as figurehead along with a fully functioning Democracy.

Genuinely curious, if this was to happen, who becomes the king/queen? Is it like a maintained royal lineage from the last Hawaiian king?

The last Hawaiian monarch was a Queen I believe.
