I don't need you pity. I am just realistic about how the process works.
The issue is ENFORCING the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
Well, that would be nice, but what you have in fact is the Constitution as amended and interpreted by SCOTUS for the last 150 years or so. You can't just vote that away. If your lucky you can get some of the worst decisions overturned (Wickard for one)
Only way I know of is your Article V. But that is a long ways off and could do more harm than good unless the agenda was strictly limited to the repeal and term limits. Even then, the process is fraught with pitfalls.
Article V does not open the whole Constitution up the replace. Anything that does pass requires 2/3 of the states. The left doesn't have the votes to enact anything onerous. That is why I said, now may be our best chance to act.
Your "realism" has no faith. If the Founders were bound by "realism" we'd still be under English tyranny. What makes you think what we're facing is more impossible than what the Founders were facing - a rag-tag bunch of colonists against the mightiest nation in the world?
Facts - what's "real" - can and does change. Truth doesn't change. The Declaration of Independence which frames the Constitution states some of those relevant truths - truths like Life and Liberty that are worth fighting and dying for. Our Founders fought and died for liberty and won against all odds and "realism".
In the same way, 150 or so years of unconstitutional and invalid federal acts and decisions - federal tyranny - can be undone at the state level and the federal level.
At the state level, the states and the people of the states need to reclaim their constitutional state sovereignty and reject and nullify unconstitutional federal acts by becoming financially INDEPENDENT from the feds as they once were.
At the federal level, the people need to continue electing non-politicians like Trump who are ready, willing, and able to dismantle the unconstitutional portion of the federal government.
It won't happen without the Divine Providence of God but what else is new? America would never have existed with Him, and Divine Providence is now at work to restore our Free Constitutional Republic.
