Fracture to irreverence where the component pieces eat each other. There is no future for the party after Trump except as various fringe groups claiming to be the "true" party.

Channels aren't doing that because they want to. YouTube has a lot of rules, some of which are written down. They do it because YouTube has flagged them in the past for demonetization on the issue, and they can't afford to do that too many times. It can also impact your ability to do livestreams.
It's on top of a pile of issues that's making YouTube content creation non-viable for everyone.
That would probably happen as part of a narcissistic collapse. In the most extreme cases, it may trigger suicidal reactions.
Oh, no, they'll devolve into infighting. There won't be enough shared ideals and actions to sustain Republicans as a political force. There will be fringe groups that linger on for a while. After almost three centuries, there are still two people left claiming the Shaker tradition; that's a group that forbids sexual relations even for procreation, so you can see how they'd have trouble gaining new members. But they're not a religious group that anyone really cares about, either. That's how MAGA will go eventually.
