Once again, I have to tell you that you are seriously off the rails. None of your concerns are remotely connected with reality.

Here’s one piece of reality for you to chew on: the ratification of amendments proposed by the Article V Convention ARE NOT RATIFIED BY THE CONVENTION.

Each State must vote on each amendment separately to the convention, either in the state legislatures or in special state ratifying conventions - but still state by state.

And nothing would prevent any given state legislature from giving authoriy to its delegate to the convention to vote on ratifying any proposed amendment that got the go ahead by 2/3's of the states. Nothing. It could all be done in an hour.

The low-information conservatives will always be with us. I don't know how many times I had to explain SC run-off elections to low-information freepers that freaked out because Graham had so many conservatives running against him.
