So Trump got elected through illegal means to the point where he was impeached for it but the GOP doesnt say a word
But when Biden won through a legit (or at least as legit as a presidential election can be) election now they care
This country is a joke
Under a section titled "State Sovereignty," the platform states: "Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified.
"Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto."
The Texas GOP's new party platform also called for full repeal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Other planks also indicated a further shift to the right for the party, giving prominence to culture issues. The platform describes homosexuality as "an abnormal lifestyle choice," and also declares that the party opposes "all efforts to validate transgender identity."
The platform also calls for a total ban on abortion and "equal protection for the Preborn." Abortion is currently prohibited after around six weeks of pregnancy in Texas, but an imminent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn the decision in Roe v. Wade that guaranteed abortion rights nationwide and trigger a law in Texas making abortion illegal.
The new Texas GOP platform also states that the education system should focus on "imparting essential academic knowledge, understanding why Texas and America are exceptional and have positively contributed to our world, and while doing so, also offer enrichment subjects that bless students' lives."
It calls for students to learn about the "Humanity of the Preborn Child," including teaching that life begins at fertilization. It also demands that the state legislature pass a law prohibiting the teaching of "sex education, sexual health, or sexual choice or identity in any public school in any grade whatsoever."
No way this s*** stops at Texas either
Honestly I don’t even know what to do, they’re sure as f*** doing everything within their power to sabotage state/local elections.
Civil warincoming
Thinking liberals/moderates would participate in such things
2 whole years late
Well I mean they only revise the platform every two years so this is the first opportunity they’ve had to insert this into it
I assure you though basically every Republican in the state who isn’t Dan Crenshaw hasn’t shut up about the Brandon steal in the 19 months since the 2020 election

"For me, it's how the a***ogy implies that Democrats think Republicans are as mendacious as Hitler thought Jews were."
