because tyrants are not beholden to anything but brute force and the threat of force. Fact of history and human nature.A post-Constitutonal nation under a Marxist Oligarchy is no more going to be restrained by any new Amendments you attempt to add to to the document that has been rendered completely irrelevant
It's coming whether we like it or not,
Well after all of this back and forth is now clear, you fall into category #2: So far it seems to me that opposition to Article V boils down to about four objections:
1. It won't work -so don't bother trying.
2. It won't work, even if it does work, because "they" will undo it, ignore it, or somehow overrule it, so don't bother trying.
3. It will work, but don't try it because it will work only for the other side.
4. No opinion on whether it will work or will not work, but the Constitution we have is just fine so the solution offered by the Constitution itself in Article V should be ignored in favor of redoubling our efforts and doing more of the same every election cycle because this time we will get different results.

My question to you is, assuming arguendo that article 5 can be accomplished and assuming that it will restore constitutional democracy as the founders and we understand it, would you prefer Civil War?
You can advocate as many Olive Branch Petitions as you like.
The results will be the same now as they were then.
You are obviously free to join the ranks of those who believe we can vote ourselves out of tyranny and practice insanity to your heart’s content with more ‘laws’ the Ruling Class will find ways to ignore and circumvent under the color of law.
I have absolutely no faith in any civil efforts we make to restrain this wicked tyranny we now are grown comfortable under. Therefore, I withdraw my support and consent to be governed by those in power in this nation. We are as a Jews in 1938 Nazi Germany. The math is not hard to figure out, but too many of you refuse to believe what is plain before your faces.
I am moving on with what will actually be required to survive and endure. You folks go on ahead and enjoy playing word/law footsie with despots. We will see which of us was correct in our assessments in the very very near future.
Tyrants are motivated only by the one thing you are afraid of and dare not risk.
I am thankful our Founders were not of the constitution you argued on this thread, otherwise we would never have come into existence as a nation.
