I'd make a counterargument and say that, on average, Texas republicans (and democrats) are more conservative than, say, New England republicans (and democrats). While they may be heavily influential in the US, they're also somewhat peculiar.

Still, I admit it's a little unnerving at times reading that platform. I don't know how much of it is actually actionable, but in all honesty, if any state were going to pull that stuff off, it'd probably be Texas.

Edit: Also worth noting that an official platform bulletin list =/= how real people will do things in practice. Some parts of it absolutely could (and will) be pushed for, but I'd be genuinely amazed if there was enough agreement to actually do most of it, much less secede (which imo wouldn't be much of a civil war anyway). Edit2: I actually used actually too many times. Alas.
