We will have a problem as long as one party places no value on institutional stability, and is willing to use the power of the government to punish those who criticize it. The Democrats are going to have to adopt the same tactics, with an important difference.
For example, the next Democratic president should stop all funding going to evangelical colleges and state universities in Republican states. The difference is the president will announce the action, and at the same time recommend the university leaders ask their elected representatives to negotiate with Congressional Democrats on a bill to prevent the action. Republicans would not work on a bill like that now, because they believe they are the only ones who would take the actions it prohibits. They will negotiate when they are being hurt.
Project 2025 provides a good road map of laws that need to be written.
