We have 3 options:
1) Both sides stop misbehaving. Let's set that aside. It won't happen barring a miracle. Can we agree on that?
2) One side misbehaves. That side will win if that condition is allowed to occur. Can we agree that option 2 is untenable?
3) Both sides misbehave. This is happening now. At least the playing field is even, and policies will therefore be decided on an even playing field.
Which option would you go with?
Obviously Option 1 is best, but I think you know it can never happen, so it is really not an option. We really only have Option 2 and Option 3 from which to choose.
Both Options 2 and 3 lead to the inevitable destruction of the Constitution, so the Constitution is a non-issue in our decision as to how to move forward. It is not a variable in this equation. We can set it aside.
Given those two choices as our only choices, Option 3 seems better, because then true policy won't be decided by one side's dirty tricks. Policy will be made by both side's dirty tricks...which is at least more fair.
The only way for the Nation to win this game, is for the Nation to prove me wrong, that Option 1 is viable. Give it your best shot.
