The Constitution would be declared null and void.
We would no longer be citizens, we would be subjects of the state.

Plus, the SCOTUS would be dissolved and all that would remain is the politburo.
No Congress either.

  I heard a legal scholar say the other day, that they would still need a large majority in the senate to do that.  I sure hope it is true, but nonetheless, monumental changes have occurred and are likely to continue.

  Even if we can bring elections back to where they are near honest, it is likely that the bitterness will continue.  Each election will have challenges, votes will be counted and recounted.  Perhaps "impeachment hearings' will become the norm, etc. etc.

I don’t want to live in a country like that.

  Elections could have remained peaceful, but the left decided they wanted to win...literally BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, so that is where we are at today.
  Now the cat of contention has been let out of the bag...it will be difficult if not impossible, to put it back in !

A Convention of States looks like about the last option and that bears its own risk.
