Republican Party schism?

Between the establishment and Trumpers, of course. No poll or anything just idle speculation.
Trump will NEVER willingly let go his hold on the party. Will the party let go of him? Obviously many of his fervent supporters will not; will think him more important than the party. But the establishment may -- should -- begin to see him as harming their interests. As an embarrassment. Even, in some cases, as wrong!
In our primary election, multiple conservatives listed themselves as "Prefers Trump Republican Party." (Our primary system is weird.) Clearly to them, Trump is more important than party. But then there is The Lincoln Project, a bunch of Republicans opposed to Trump. Do they represent the establishment? I dunno.
George W Bush has congratulated Biden on his victory. Lindsey Graham, who 5 years ago said that nominating Trump would destroy the party, is still supporting Trump. Changing demographics do NOT support Trump. What is the Republican Party, the party I grew up in, to do?
If Trump sees the party establishment abandoning him, he'll fire them first. And certainly want to establish his own part. What then?

Again, random speculations. And I'm probably giving the R establishment more credit than it deserves. Thoughts?
