Article on Washington Post compares the 2022 GOP platform with the 2014 platform, the last one before Trump, Trumpers, MAGA and idiots

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/20/how-texas-republican-partys-platform-has-changed-since-2014/ 

 

 

2022: The platform also has two resolutions appended. One reads, in part: “We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States.”

 

 

 

2014: “Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that have been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nation’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, in public policy, nor should family be redefined to include homosexual couples. We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. Additionally, we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.”

 

2022: “Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice. We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin, and we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values. No one should be granted special legal status based on their LGBTQ+ identification.”

 

 

 

2022: “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 first two examples just show the bigotry, religious crazy and general stupidity.

 

The last example is... just stupid. Texas is the state not linked to the national grid, so they freeze to death in winter and burn to death in summer. When tragedy happens, they run to Washington D.C. for cash. But yeah, let's see how Secession 2.0 works out for stupid.

I guess Texas was worried it would lose the "most bizzare state" and "welcome to the 19th century" awards to Florida.

I actually have no problem with that.
