The problem with the GOP is that they have been working to miseducate their base for so long that now they have basically set them up to be taken advantage of by Trump and his family. They do things like complain about the border and then actively stop anything from being done about it and then blame Biden. Any group of people thinking even a little critically are gonna call the GOP on what is obvious fraud, but the base has been so abused mentally that they wont stand up. Thats why Trump chose to run as a Republican. Because he knew their whole franchise is based on the stupidity of the base.
Now, what is obvious to everyone who isn't MAGA is that Trump is taking over the GOP to bleed it dry of money to pay his own bills. The GOP Congressmen are not going to get enough money to fight against the Democratic machine which will literally drown them in ads. When they lose, Trump will just come up with another election conspiracy and the base will NEVER allow themselves to acknowledge that Trump is walking out the back with all of the RNC donor money. They will blame Biden. 100% guaranteed.
This is what you happen when you foster hate and stupidity. People dislike Trump and the GOP but they don't blindly hate Republicans. That requires stupidity and if you can think it becomes harder to hate. The GOP is stupid and unintelligent and that is why they utterly hate Biden and Democrats. There is no logical reason and so the conservative media reinforces the hate and bigotry on a constant never-ending basis.
Thankfully, the fever is going to break because as Trump robs the RNC the GOP will not be able to compete with the DNC, it will cause a huge decline in their corporate contributions and the GOP will simply cease to be.
The problem is that with the Death of the GOP, we will have a huge problem if we only have a one party system. Eventually we will probably need to dismantle the DNC as well. We need to remove money from politics. So Trump taking over the RNC isn't just the death of the GOP... its the death of our current political structure and maybe thats a good thing.
I would like to think that in the future when we look back on we can at least credit it as a breaking point towards something eventually better.

If the GOP dies, then the smaller parties will receive the GOP members, so we would become a multi-party system with one huge party dominating everything. Like Russia and China. That's at least my thoughts if the GOP dies.

The People's Republic of China is a de jure one party state. The primacy of the Communist Party of China is specifically outlined in the Chinese constitution. In order for any other parties to exist, they must accept the leadership of the CPC.
In Russia's case, while the system is a de facto one-party system rather than a de jure one-party system like China has, United Russia has no actual platform other than supporting Vladimir Putin's policies. In that respect, the Republican Party under the leadership of Lara Trump is more akin to United Russia.
Many states are de facto one-party systems, however, they are dominated by one party while the opposition is the state version of the other national party. Oklahoma is ruled by the Republicans top to bottom, but the only opposition party are the Democrats. Same thing with the parties reversed in California. In many instances, people who leave the dominant party out of disagreement with the polarization of its politics typically switch to the opposite party. In Oklahoma's 2022 gubernatorial election, incumbent Republican governor Kevin Stitt's Democratic opponent, Joy Hofmeister, had won two elections as Secretary of Education, both times as a Republican. She switched to the Democratic Party in 2021, shortly before the 2022 election year began.
