I get what you're saying. "The Rules" can't stop bad ideas. The only thing that stops a bad idea is a good idea and the spine to implement it. Republicans have gotten as far as they have because they believe in something, and govern in accordance with those beliefs, even if it's a bunch of bigoted, fascist, bullshit. Democrats, and liberals in particular, say, "Forget your conscience and just Trust the Process", because "The Process" is morality itself, and any ends achieved by going outside "The Process" is inherently immoral.
