I like the idea in theory, but demonrats will see this as an existential threat and will sabotage it at all costs in their favor and make things unimaginably worse

Woohoo!

Article V ping!

[Jacquerie]

Must revolution be violent? Must men meet on the battlefield to affect change? Must revolution upend an older society and replace it with a new one? Wouldn’t a 21st century restoration of free American government without resort to violence be revolutionary?

Pennsylvania’s Framer James Wilson thought so:

This revolution principle–that, the sovereign power residing in the people, they may change their constitution and government whenever they please–is not a principle of discord, rancor, or war: it is a principle of melioration, contentment, and peace. It is a principle not recommended merely by a flattering theory: it is a principle recommended by happy experience. To the testimony of Pennsylvania–to the testimony of the United States I appeal for the truth of what I say.

Article V and Rational Revolution.
