"Texas GOP Embraces Christian Nationalism and Conservative Agenda for 2024"

At the Texas GOP's 2024 convention, hardline activists, including indicted election fraud conspiracy theorist Steve Hotze, called for "spiritual warfare" against perceived demonic forces on the left. The convention saw the adoption of policies to increase party control over elections, infuse Christianity into public life, and further marginalize Democrats and LGBTQ+ individuals. The event highlighted a growing embrace of Christian nationalism and conspiracy theories within the party, with significant influence from figures like David Barton and support from prominent Republicans.
