At that point, the GOP probably end up going the way of the Know-Nothings - a party of cranks and conspiracy theorists, populated by nativists and would-be theocrats.

Presumably, some new center-right party will emerge from the ashes and balance will be restored.

The alt-right’s strategy is to “poison the well” and they are succeeding. They have been destroying the Republican Party from within and weakening the Democratic Party through propaganda.They really have no firm ideology amongst themselves except for White Supremacy. Their economics are all over the map, pretending to adhere to Libertarianism but utterly silent on their hero Trump’s overt government interference in the “free market”. The Republican and Democratic parties are being destroyed and in the ashes an informal Republican-in-name-only hegemony is being built. The huge swath of red voting districts across the heartland has unhooded themselves and elected a spectrum of white supremacists whose only direction is one single goal - relegating the 20th Century political apparatus to the dustbin of history. They are already halfway there. In its place is a 21st Century internet-enabled populism celebrating authoritarianism.
