Article V is our last peaceful alternative.

President Trump now knows the Deep State extends not only throughout the administrative state, the military, and the judiciary, but to the scotus itself.

Once he blows Plugs away this November, I hope he realizes that unless he leaves behind reformed institutions, all of his successes will soon disappear.

So yeah, I think PDJT will support an end run around the hopeless corruption and push for an Article V COS. If his counsel is wise, they'll encourage re-federalization beginning with repeal of the 17th Amendment.

A long shot? Sure. So was 1776.

Sure, I believe there are hurdles that would have to be overcome for article v to work. I support it regardless before I support violent revolution or what some would call a civil war primarily because it would come with another set of challenges equal to or greater than that of article v.

In other words a civil war or revolution ends with some resolution of conflict leading to a agreement of both sides to restructure the govt a certain way or the birth of a new govt. That can be a very long and dangerous process with no knowing what we would end up with in the end at this point.

I believe that is why this country and it’s founding principles are worth fighting for. I even took an oath to do just that once long ago. That being said I can’t always see the path that we must follow in my mind at least. I am only a simple farmer who ponders these things at an amateur level at best.
