I have no idea what heinous act Republicans would have to commit to persuade a significant portion of their base to turn against them.
Consider that elected Republicans have: Targeted children at the border with hate and rage; Refused to provide basic health care in states they control; Refused to raise the minimum wage; Ignored our dangerously crumbling infrastructure; Refused to rectify a SCOTUS decision that affects freedom of religion; Done everything possible to turn women into chattel; and so much more.
Id venture to say that most of these things disproportionately affect a fairly large portion of their base. Exactly how dense are these voters? How horrendous would an act have to be before these voters became disgusted? I have no idea.
I know that much of their base consists of low information voters who are easily enraged. Nonetheless, their must be some line that cannot be crossed. What would that line be? Eating live babies? I just dont know.
