Because Trump isn't the end-all of it, it's the entire Republican apparatus that built their base on a perpetual grievance engine, including the billionaires who provide the funding for the extremism.

They'll be broken when simply hunkering down and obstructing Democrats until the next chance for a Republican win no longer works, because they keep losing. Once the Republican Party is no longer a viable vehicle for single-minded extremists, "Trump" Will lose "his" hold.
