I agree. These are historic times. More and more people recognize there is much amiss about these United States. It is a mistake to box the states into the red/blue paradigm. Sure, most American haven't even read the constitution, and far fewer are aware of Article V.
Still, most Americans can hardly avoid the contradictions of supposedly living in a free country, yet daily face the heavy hand of a distant government more interested in expanding its power than securing our liberty, safety and happiness. We have become a nation largely of Bastiat’s plunderers, in which our rulers every two years ask us to condone criminality.
OTOH, times make the man. The founders came within a few votes in 1775 of asking for dominion with Great Britain, to enter into union just as Wales had done. Had that happened, colonials by the names of Adams, Madison, Jefferson, Henry, Hamilton, . . . would be footnotes to history. It was the times that made those otherwise hardly known men remarkable, memorable and worthy of the admiration of the ages.
We are in a somewhat similar situation. Men we know little of may step forward and make their mark on American history. As this movement catches on, I think we'll see a resurgence of just what it really means to be an American.
