This is something I've been worried about for at least a decade. A constitutional convention could be the absolute end of us all.

The threat of a "runaway" constitutional convention is not hyperbolic. In 2022, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social talked to @gracepanetta.bsky.social about the conservatives' interest in a state-led constitutional convention.

It was chilling.

Agreed. It would dismantle the current version of the constitution in favor of the billionaires. It would be the undoing of the US as it stands.

People have NO IDEA! If ever there was a time for this to gain immense footing, it's now. God help us.

Yep. Though if it happens I vote blue states just secede.

We'll be fine.
The republican controlled states?
Not so much.
The republican controlled states would be bankrupt in less than 24 hours. They cannot survive without a powerful federal nanny state to take care for them.
