From european perspective and as an admirer of american values and the us to me it's the most moving thing happening. I hope and I'm sure the american people will come out of all this mess stronger than ever!

In the past, I was strongly against the idea of a new constitutional convention, because of how bad/unreliable the right is on a bunch of stuff.

Now, however, I think most of what the red states would push for is decentralization and even more explicit limits on federal power.
