I think the real question is what a post-Trump GOP will look like.
If white power militias, hardcore reactionaries, and zany conspiracy theorists still have a place in the GOP, the problem won't leave with Trump.

The reactionary Supreme Court justices, for example, have shown that they have no interest in saving Trump, but they're committed to promoting the agenda of the "religious right," for example, by taking the teeth from the Voting Rights Act.
Exactly.
The problem is what political scientist @dziblatt
calls the "Conservative Dilemma," which in a nutshell says that conservative economic policies (when presented truthfully) are unpopular so to win elections, they invite in the right-wing fringe.

Right, and I don't think they're willing to do that. Some minority communities are traditionally conservative and, should the GOP shed the fringe elements, could lure them in.
But first, they have to reject the crazies, which means losing a few elections.
