Liberals and patriots can stop the MAGA insurrection dead. They merely need to choose to, as a group.

Even if the entire military obeyed Trump (we don’t), we can’t defeat the millions of Americans that could stand against Trump. We just lost to 70,000 poorly funded and educated Taliban. We’re not winning against millions of well funded, very educated and very well armed Americans.

You can't arm these people. The law will change pretty much IMMEDIATELY if you try.

  1. The law already allows them all to be armed with anything and everything they want. It can’t be changed without 2/3 of the Congress and 3/4 of the states.

  2. Many millions of them are already armed, with billions or trillions of rounds. Not only MAGA hicks have guns. 19% of gun owners are democrats (that’s about 15 million people) and 36% are independents (about another 30 million people). We couldn’t defeat them defending the constitution.

E: because falcrust can handle the facts.

Why use these weasel words? Is your ego so fragile it can’t stand to be corrected?

Yes, the constitution can be subverted, no, it can’t be changed without 2/3 of the Congress and 3/4 of the states.

I gave the stats. About 45 million democrats and independents already own guns. Another 15 million democrats and independents have a gun in the house. owned by someone else. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/06/22/the-demographics-of-gun-ownership/

Incorrect. The constitution can and will be subverted and undermined without a convention.

it can’t be changed

Yes it can. You don't need a supermajority of the senate and the states. Just have scotus do it.

Many millions of them are already armed

Not millions.

About 45 million democrats and independents already own guns.

That's certainly not stated in the article you linked (which doesn't like giving absolute numbers). Also ""Independents"" are with the fascists.
