That's why we have to vote MAGA out of any kind of national power. Then a majority of the country would be empowered to make sensible Constitutional changes.

It goes beyond that though. An article V convention is very vaguely defined. There are very few concrete rules governing how it should be run, how delegates are selected, etc.
Even if there wasn't a single MAGA representative at the federal level, you'd still have lots of bad actors at the state level, and people like billionaires looking to throw around their influence in harmful ways. It would be an incredibly dangerous thing at this moment in time. Even without MAGA, I'm not sure I trust the conservative elements in society to play fair. They certainly didn't prior to Trump, and there's no guarantee they will afterwards.
