... some kind.

He gave them voice and unless someone other alpha figure is willing to do the same Red Don will be around directing as he pleases.

Its going to be a minimum 5% kGOP voter base on the county level he'll command and when he says someone is out they're out.

The kGOP distancing themselves from Trump now would be like the DNC distancing themselves from Obama for being Obama

kGOP made a deal with the devil, damn near literally.

The KGOP has more than enough anti-democratic forces to keep their fascist agenda going until they become unelectable.

Once he is no longer wielding power, some Republicans will come to their senses, so to speak, and get back to their conservative roots. However, the racists and extremists he has inspired will not be happy with that and will look for candidates who will carry on Trump's message of hate.
