Starting with the blatant declaration that Biden's election was a "fraud," the document embraces the far fringes of GOP thinking including the following: declaration that life begins at fertilization, declaration that all LGBTQ people "abnormal", elimination of all federal welfare, elimination of the federal income tax (repeal 16th Amendment), elimination of property taxes, removal of popular vote for senators (repeal 17th Amendment), repeal of birth citizenship (alter 14th Amendment), return to school prayer and "Judeo-Christian" origins, elimination of nearly all gun controls, opposition to any environmental legislation that "obstructs legitimate business interests", repeal of minimum wage, elimination mandatory sick/maternity leave, weaken labor unions with national "right to work" act, weaken teaching of evolution & climate change by classifying them as "theories subject to change."
