18. The Right-Wing wants a Constitutional Convention. They want to completely rewrite it. Project 2025+?

Monday

Do not agree to a constitutional convention. The lobbyists and bought and paid for politicians will write a "Capital Rules!" type of document saying "Oligarchs are great", "cronyism is patriotic", "Monopolies are great", "We need a king/emperor!", "No voting needed anymore"
