CPC is the official designation of the Communist Party of China.

So I don’t know where CCP comes in or what it is talking about because I can’t find anything that has CCP

First line of the Wikipedia entry:

"The Communist Party of China (CPC), also referred to as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is the founding and ruling political party of the People's Republic of China"

Both CPC and CCP are valid acronyms - they mean the exact same nominally communist but de facto capitalist totalitarian Chinese political party.

Your sentence doesn't actually make sense, how I've read it, but are you claiming that the Republican Party of Texas, the most populous red State, is filled with radicals?
I definitely don't disagree. But I would generalize this beyond Texas, there are many States that have creationism as a part of their "scientific" curriculum. Though yet again, what to expect when a plurality (almost half even) of the country believes in creationism, while the second largest group believes in intelligent design.

And school prayers aren't mandatory in many States only because the Supreme Court, a radically different Supreme Court back in the 60s, banned them. But 80% of Republicans still support praying in schools, and in red States where not praying makes you the outcast, the libtard, how likely are kids to break this norm? About as likely as Egyptian women are to not wear the hijab or not be genitally mutilated, both of which are by no means de facto required.

Now, I certainly don't disagree that all of these positions are very radical. But it seems that Republicans like them. That might suggest something about the American right, no?

As a person that lives in the “radical state of Texas” or rather “a radical red state” your claims can not be any further from the truth. Local news does not paint, nor support those viewpoints. Nor the most locals of Texas. I rather trust the opinions of my peers, rather the words of a French foreigner.

In America we have a thing called, “big tent” politics, and it refers to a party holding many and multiple views, sometimes opposing one another, I advise you look into it.

So, all of those links, the polls, the actions of State education boards and State Republican parties, the Fox News page dedicated to the "war on Christmas" (which was somehow supposed to have something to do with terrorism but consistently resurfaces about Starbucks holiday cups), are all nill, because... Something about your local news?

An interesting counter-argument.

Your "big-tent" parties support radical opinions. Which makes them radical "big-tent" parties.

So those who want abortions have to live by your rules. Those who don't want to learn creationism have to live by your scientifically baseless "scientific" education. And those who don't want their tax money going to praying in schools rather than teaching are supposed to live by your waste of tax payers' moneys.

Well... My point still stands.

Truly secular States like those in Europe? Perhaps.

Your "big-tent" parties support radical opinions. Which makes them radical "big-tent" parties.

The war on Christmas is more of a republican populist point of view, which that small party usually gets riled up and gather a huge radical base. Doesn’t make a dominant majority, but rather forces the other parties to begrudgingly support their head party. Why fight something when the other party is already fighting you. The Republican Party doesn’t want to fight a “2 front” war so they chose the “lesser of the 2 evils” if you will.

It’s like saying voting for trump = your a radical.

Right... So... Republicans don't believe in this? They don't support fighting back on this "war"? Is (supposedly) electoral politicking now a separate act from being radical?

And as for the rest?

Well... You said it. Though, again, I would correct you and say voting for the Republicans makes you radical right-wing.
