Way too utopian, never going to happen. What you can do on a pragmatic level is ignore their laws. They pass an "assault weapons ban," get a 3D printer and print your own. The "rule of law," is long dead and buried. Are you ready to make "outlaw country," real, or are you a pussy?
Not utopian. Has been done in Scandinavia. Convincing progressives to go along with something that has been done in Scandinavia shouldn't be that hard.
And, just as importantly, Red states have Blue zones. Break them up.
Tacticalcivics.com says that the ORIGINAL First Article of the Bill of Rights required at least one Representative per 50 000 people. It is the only one of the original 12 that has not yet passed, and the one thing George Washington spoke up for at the Constitutional Convention. He said it was needed for the government to represent the people, rather than becoming the gargantuan monster we are too familiar with today. This is passed by Congress and only needs to be ratified by the states when enough people find out about it and push for it.
This would give us about 7000 Representatives--similar to the total number of representatives in the state legislatures. tactical civics wants to follow this with a Bring Congress Home Act, requiring the reps to reside in the districts they represent, and use skype/zoom etc. to vote from around the nation. We could actually meet our reps that way.
This is the best way to give rural areas and minorities a voice.
But if we broke up the 7000 into supercommittees and only required a majority (or a bit more) of a supercommittee, then that would work. That is, slice the House into war, trade, agriculture, tax collection, etc. With each House member only responsible to a particular subject, reading the bills becomes reasonable.

I see a pussy, good luck dude, you'll need it trying to play by their rules.
The pussies are more dangerous than you are . See Rule 4.

7000 is rather unweildy.
