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.

Just let them define whatever they like.
The truth is that "hell" opens the gates when they get into power and actually do what they declare. I'd say, let the war begin.
On a side-note, it seems that history keeps repeating itself. Obviously, we cannot change that feat, so let it ride and the post-WW3 survivors may sort it all out.

You equate US with "the world" or do you really wish a WW3 just to clean Texas?
If the later, there are cheaper solutions (like: sell Texas to China, you can outsource closer to home and the cost of goods will be even cheaper).

No, I do not equate US with World. The point, however, is that once the radicals in Texas take over, they are sure to instigate a war that is no longer contained to the state of Texas or the continental US. It will spread like a cancer. There are just too many eager to settle a score.
