Let's all remember that the 1789 Constitution was illegal. The Articles of Confederation were so broken and so useless that the leaders of the country, including many of the Founding Fathers, set up a constitutional convention with the idea of fixing the Articles and instead they met in secret to propose an entirely new government. There was no Article V in the Articles of Confederation. The people just DID it and then it was ratified by the states.
The legitimacy of the state and the power to govern derives itself from the governed; even when not a democracy. Even when it pretends to be otherwise like a Monarhy or a Theocracy it still gets its power from the people who govern it. Under the 1789 constitution, you can't abolish the states, but if you make a constitution from scratch, ratified by the people at large. If the majority ratifies it, then its just as legitimate if not more so, then the old one.
Meaning, if the government doesnt stop a new constitution being made, or people voting on it, then you can get a new one. Of course, the old government typically has a say in that with this thing called the United States Military. But the Terrorist Red States can be circumvented from a tyranical 3/5th or 2/3rd majority impossible in their fly over minority rule, without abandoning the blue cities trapped in their Terrorist jurisdictions by focusing on the Democratic Party (or technically any other party but since we want to actually win and not be terrorists or nazis thats the one I'm writing about.). Run a candidate with the platform of holding a vote for a new constitution and all they have to do is prevent the military or DHS or FBI from rounding up the people voting on it.
Congress will babble of course but if a new congress is assembled and disolves the old and the President legitimizes it, then that automatically empowers the new governement. And there is almost nothing worth keeping about the current highly broken system.
