These people who are leaving the Republican party aren't changing what they thought in order to make them Republicans in the first place, they're just finding Democrats to be closer to what they wanted when they formerly voted Republican.

The Democrats will be happy to oblige these former-Republican-still-conservative voters with conservative policy.

ETA: Just to make it clear, I agree with the title of your OP, the Republicans being so nuts lets the Democrats move to the right, something a lot of them want to do anyway.
