That's been the opinion of every intellectual giant who said that the republicans wouldn't steal the supreme court, that abortion wasn't on the table, that trump would never be elected, that he wasn't a threat (then he pulled a treason), that he would never be elected again.
Continue to pish posh while they continue dismantling the republic.
So your plan is to freak out every time some junior backbencher proposes something, like it actually means something? You'll be freaking out all the time, and what will it accomplish? You might as well put on a pink hat and run around Washington DC for a weekend.
And then, maybe when the idea actually gets pursued, it won't seem so controversial because all the energy was wasted before it was actually a thing.

If you don't want it dismantled, you can start by not getting distracted by dumb stuff and/or taking the bait. Then, the next step is to realize the politics of maximum opposition failed, and try something else.
Keep ignoring the world in front of your eyes.
Edit: Also if you think the "world of maximal opposition has failed" that's very amusing as the level of opposition was extremely low.
Get your pink hat on, it's time to waste your energy on the wrong things.

Trump got elected, despite being portrayed constantly as both hopelessly incompetent, totally unacceptable politically, and as existential threat to democracy by his opponents and most of the media; being subject to multiple criminal investigations by them; having huge protests against him; and more than $1.4 billion spent on advertising against him. He was opposed to the legal maximum, and anything more would have gotten into armed militia territory.

Backbencher proposes something dumb that'll almost certainly go nowhere? The sky must be falling, and that's proof!
