The cult might fracture a bit though which is something we could hope for.

Which would just get us back to Reagan republicans or tea party republicans? Both just as horrid only better at PR

Actually the current split is closer to 4 groups. Reagan Republicans, Tea Party Republicans, MAGA diehards, and Fuentes Right. The number of real MAGA diehards is difficult to determine but I think most of them are actually members of the other three groups pretending to be diehards to gain favor with the president.

With the president’s death you’re gonna see the diehards split into the Vance and the Eric / JR camp. The other three won’t support Vance or JR and put up other candidates. Or a total split of the party.

I think something similar is happening to Democrats with Mainline Dems and Social Democrats, but this will be more like the original Tea Party split than what the right is doing.

They're all capitalists. Literally every single faction you mentioned. The us will not cease committing atrocities under any feasible future leadership because the us will never allow socialist leadership. Hell, that's probably the most consistent part of the us government going back more than a century.
