I've been mulling how the GOP fascists could legally destroy the Constitution, and now I'm even more scared. The image below describes the amendment procedure. I think there are only 13 safely blue states, partly due to gerrymandering. That means that 34 states—⅔ of 50—could call a Constitutional Convention. But what about the ¾ for ratification? Turns out that Texas can (probably) split into five states (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/more-150-years-texas-has-had-power-secede-itself-180962354/). Add gerrymandering, and you have 54 states, 41 pretty red…
Oops.
