40% of the country wants it to be worse in every way imaginable. They want more religion in the halls of power, more impressive law enforcement and mass incarceration, more dictatorial centralization of power, less education more environmental destruction more wealth concentration in fewer elites hands, less protections for workers, and their families, more poverty sickness and death.
They aren't the same people either, sixty-70% want one or some of the things on that list.
If we declared a constitutional convention, I don't think there would be any agreement whatsoever about what changes to make, and if there were, agreement, I expect they would be disasterous.
