Reply to comment by pegothejerk in Voters can erase racist wording in Alabama Constitution by motayba

You haven’t been paying attention. Conservatives want to another constitutional convention so they can rewrite the constitution and strip us of our rights once and for all

Except that won't work either because states still need to ratify the changes.

You would need 38 states to ratify the changes. That's why pretty much no changes to the constitution happen.

What's the point of being called a united America if the states can just do what ever the fuck they want??

They don't need a constitutional convention. They are planning in plain sight to overthrow American democracy by violent force.

The Federalist almost says the F-word:

> Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it.

> The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.

> [W]ielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code.

> If all that sounds radical, fine. It need not, at this late hour, dissuade conservatives in the least. Radicalism is precisely the approach needed now because the necessary task is nothing less than radical and revolutionary.

> For now, there are only two paths open to conservatives. Either they awake from decades of slumber to reclaim and re-found what has been lost, or they will watch our civilization die. There is no third road.
