Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    This sounds like a list of things one would make up for a platform if they wanted to make fun of them, but that's their actual stance...

    (Side note NCommander, there's an "i" missing from "controversial" in the subject line)

    This is exactly why I identify Republicans like this: Old GOP, parody of itself

    (in the context of identifying Democrats as: "New GOP")
