If a 2/3 majority of all the states became liberal/Democrat the choices would be either emigration, suicide, or civil war. When you remember that the liberal states tend to be larger, this would mean more than 3/4 of the people becoming liberal/Democrat.
“‘what would happen when the majority of those states turn liberal/Democrat ? what then ?’

If they had only the power to veto acts of congress then the effect would be negligible. Democrats would be capable of advocating for smaller government. lol
Seriously I can’t restate it enough, 2/3rd majority is insanely high! If you could get 2/3rd to of the state legislators to act on anything then they could just as easily call a constitutional convention and hold everyone there until 4 more state delegations swing over to a compromise with them.
This is a token jester at best. Reduce the majority to 1/3 or less and you have a realistic chance of the amendment making a difference.
State legislators do not act like people, indeed a great many of them only meet for a short time once every 2 years.
