Wel it is the problem with voting district for 1 seat. get most votes and you can ignore all others. Don't know but going of how the US presidency elections work you don't even need 50% + 1 vote to win a disctrict.
Not to mention half the people saying you should just move probably also say shit like "stop moving here, we're full" when discussing the high housing cost in blue states. Basically get fucked, you can never win.
I feel if we do that some sections are going to do things like not give the city areas food and things will get real messy real fast.
The point is not to tell people what to do. The point is to offer support in whatever they decide to do.
There's a difference between "stop telling people who can't leave that they have to leave" and "you should stay put" so I really don't understand your post...
This is a party platform, not an attempt at legislation. There is not an immediate worry about anything passing - the worry (and it is still a large one) is that this indicates that Republican policy is now entirely driven by a mixture of theocratic fascist authoritarianism and contrarian fascist authoritarianism.

One could reasonably argue that we have already lost that position to China. These kinds of things I think are certainly not helping.
Technically, what would need to happen for the GOP to be able to pass some of these laws in Texas?It's performative, but they are telling the world what they are about. What's dangerous is what comes after this. A lot of radicalized people who consider themselves to be victims gathering in one place to "fight the evil that is queers". Shit like this is how things like this:
31 members of a white supremacist group arrested near Idaho Pride event
Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, and Arkansas, White said.
Become very bloody.
Like I said, I don't know how the Texas GOP works, but platforms tend to be party activists' wish lists. The party ostensibly supports these positions, but that doesn't mean they'll push equally hard on all of them.
Elected officials would have to write legislation, get enough votes to pass them, and have them signed by the governor. Some of these planks might not even have 50% support within the party (like the federal reserve plank,) so getting enough votes would be difficult. Other (like the LGBTQ+ bullshit) probably have wide support within the party, so getting them passed and signed would be easier.
FL was a true purple state about ten years ago but the influx of South Americans fleeing socialist coups have tilted the balance for at least another decade to the GOP.
Thank you for the detailed reply, I missed your previous one.
Are there no legal repercussions on a federal level for having such an unconstitutional platform?
Depends on which ones you mean. This is more of a briefly outlined wishlist than anything resembling a law, so for anything they want to implement the first thing they'd generally need to do would be draft legislation and then get it passed and signed.
