At the moment the Republicans almost control enough state legislatures to call a convention of states. Assuming they could all agree on something useful, what amendment or amendments do you think should be made?

The problem is people based, but not because they're people, but because literal losers and failures in life are allowed to vote.
Every time I hear it, the more I like a Net Taxpayer voting system. If you want to vote, you have to pay into the system. If you vote yourself gibs, you're suddenly no longer a net taxpayer so you can't keep giving yourself shit. This would create a equilibrium where those who want to be slaves can be slaves and those who want to be free don't have to suffer under the slave majority rule.
Our problems go far beyond "losers" being able to vote, because a lot of the people who voted our way into this mess were "winners". All the Fortune 500 CEOs pushing for BLM and DIE shit are "winners" by anyone's definition of the word and would gladly vote for the entire third world to move into your neighborhood, higher taxes, more government intervention, etc...
And a lot of them are natural slaves in the sense that they are highly conformist and subservient to a system that rewards them for such conformity. And can't imagine living outside that system despite having the means to do so. The only billionaire in popular culture who doesn't seem to entirely fit this mold is Elon Musk, due to his goal of creating an autonomous Mars colony.
