The struggle ahead

From Daily Kos:

"What should be next!

Now that the family fight holiday has passed. Where your uncle Joe spouted about how his candidate was going to make America great again and your Transgender nephew ran from the house crying. You know it, the one we call Thanksgiving.

With all that drama behind us and all the analyzing of why Hillary lost an election that really was hers to lose. We must focus on stopping the insanity!

Should the Republicans take control of two more state houses (notably Washington and Colorado) they will be able to rewrite the constitution to fit their world view of democracy.
They will likely call a constitutional convention to amend the constitution as allowed by the majority clause Specifically Article 5.

Do not think for one moment that the Republicans haven’t worked the last 40 years to gerrymander every state to make this happen.

The ugly truth is we don’t have four years to fix this election we have only two years. And as they say in Texas, “we’re burning daylight.” We’ll see two special elections in the near future for the US Senate and House. The Senate seat for Alabama and the House seat for the fourth district of Kansas."

Wow, just imagine that! An American theorcracy in the making and they need to be stopped!

A Constitutional Convention with just 2 more states in the GOP's pocket?

Anybody else think this could be bad news, like resulting in them installing a RW theocracy or is this just nothing to worry about?
