I've wondered about the possibility of a constitutional convention, too.
The public is going to learn a lot about how entrenched these bureaucracies are. I hope they have more success gutting them than I expect. It's hard for me to imagine four years being enough time to get much accomplished, considering the resistance that's going to be faced.

The public is going to learn
Exactly, let's look backwards to understand what we've learned already...
Ignoring all else, the debt issue alone is I think is a signal towards a constitutional convention:
They made the money laundering to the tune of hundreds of billions via Ukraine super obvious, despite how unpopular it was, presumably to open peoples eyes as to how this system works more broadly- and thus how most of our debt is illegitimate.
Sprinkle in the context of those billions under an illegitimate white house, where anyone rational had to question who was actually in charge, given the dementia patient on set, pandemic psyop election now resulting in 15+M missing dem votes... and so on... it's all a justification for a debt default, and a default = constitutional convention.
four years being enough time
Yep, now let's posit that it started pre-2016 when Trump won an election "by surprise". That's 8 years of setting the stage for a default... now in this 4 years the bandaid comes off... a bandaid we couldn't have removed 2016-2020

There's a looming government shutdown. The smart thing for the Trump administration would be to inherit the shutdown and take the opportunity to push their reforms through. Only bring back the parts and personnel that they want to move forward with.

Good point, and we've had a number of showdowns over the shutdown/debt ceiling over the years... actually the last one is how the speaker of the house changed hands.
Trump inheriting a shutdown government, what a coincidence timing wise ;)
