At this point the GOP looks like they might actually be on the verge of splitting into two separate parties, with the bats*** crazy Trump loyalists and sycophants on one side, and the old-school traditional Republicans on the other.

I think the only way there will be an actual split is if Trump (or a Trump-endorsed candidate) narrowly loses the 2024 primary, at which point starting their own party is a definite possibility. Republicans will ultimately fall in line with power, and if 2022 shows them that Trump-brand politics are enough to win back the house, then that's all they need to see. But the 2022 primary season might be really vicious.
