I think it is helpful to view, in the aggregate, our politicians in DC as members of a single party, the uniparty. Once we realize, that for practical purposes the GOPE is the tag along junior partner of the uniparty, it all makes sense.

Separated from the uniparty by distinct interests are the states.

Most state legislators serve on a part time basis. Many are businessmen. They all see the accelerating coercion of the states and the people by the DC uniparty.

States will send delegates, not representatives to an amendment convention. The delegates will have commissions, legal instructions that set limits to what they can vote for. I cannot imagine a plurality of states will not look out for their interests, which means putting the genie of tyranny back in its bottle.

There is little time to save what remains of our republic.

Sorry. I was unclear. I didn’t mean to imply that I thought actual representatives would be part of a convention, but that the states had elected republicans versus democrats & tended to reject...well, you understood via this

“Separated from the uniparty by distinct interests are the states.”

:-) Helpful or infuriating (about the uniparty in DC. That’s a good way to put it!)

I strongly agree that we are running out of time. There are a number of issues that (at least) seem to actually be in common with the left (term limits is one of them; the erosion of the 4th amendment is another) right now. That could work to everyone’s benefit.

Fear is useless.
