The idea that there will be a runaway convention that will drive the country into progressive hell is no longer relevant, WE ARE IN PROGRESSIVE HELL, and doing nothing would be folly.

It is a difficult question, but I'm not sure I agree with you. At least now, we can argue that the Progressive hell is unconstitutional and against the law. That may seem like cold comfort at this point, but as things continue to get worse, it is at least possible that Americans can be persuaded we are on the wrong path.

But at least we will have a guide to that path - namely our constitution.

But once that document is replaced by an abomination produced by a runaway convention, all bets will be off. Once the new constitution is in place, there will be no way back.

Cold comfort indeed...

The state amendment process IS constitutional, and it doesn’t involve replacing anything.

What is being argued as the worst case scenario is essentially an overthrow of the current constitution, a coupe, a revolution. With or without state conventions, these dangers always exist.
