Some years ago, before Trump even took over the party, the Texas GOP started putting shit like this directly into their official state party platform. Including a nice PDF doc on their own hosted domain where you could cite everything. It was really handy for showing Enlightened Centrists that, no, it’s not just a loud minority of the right. This is what the party is like now, and has been for a while.

They don’t care about reality because their voter base will believe whatever they say as long as it gets their emotions riled up.
Some of those religious nutter comments are absolutely unhinged.
Religion is a mental illness and it’s astounding that it’s still acceptable.
