Welcome! I'm a conservative, so take my suggestion with that bias in mind, but:
Support Republicans across the board in November. Punish the left for embracing or tolerating illiberalism. Tell your local Democratic Party what you did, and why.

Welcome! I'm a conservative, so take my suggestion with that bias in mind, but:
Support Republicans across the board in November. Punish the left for embracing or tolerating illiberalism. Tell your local Democratic Party what you did, and why.
If you're liberal, you won't like a lot of the policy that will result. But free speech on campus and throughout society will expand, due process on campus and elsewhere will be protected, and likely laws and regulations will be implemented to force Big Tech to honor free speech.
Cancel culture will suffer a body blow. The structure of freedom will be preserved.
Then, if you're not happy with other policies, vote to throw the bastards out.
Given the fact that the GOP is arguaably racist and definitely homophobic, not a chance in hell. In fact, as much as I despise "woke" and "cancel" culture, even as a right of center voter, I will never forget nor forgive the GOP for its role using homophobia to win votes and codify discrimination against me. These 4 months of radical left wing "terror" are nothing compared to the decades-long reign of terror the GOP inflicted upon millions of defenseless Americans, immigrants, Iraqis, Afghanis, etc..
The RNC anointed him your leader, reluctantly at first, but eventually like addlepated school girls wholly embraced him. The GOP has been laying the ground for Trump since the 1970s - cultivating its relationships with racist yellow-dog Democrats, and literalist religious fanatics. The GOP then moved on to a page from Minister Goebbels's book on propaganda and built a radio, TV, and print empire to spew misinformation, innuendo, and outright lies. No, Trump is 1000% Republican.
Slow down your breathing there now. Number 1, leader has nothing to do with it. No body leads me. You may operate on a different level. If you are talking about Fox, yes, they were conceived as a propaganda outlet. I haven't watched television since 1980, but from the development of the invasions into Afghanistan and Iraq, it was obvious Fox was pure propaganda. I despise them. Yet, CNN and MSNBC outdo Fox in the "we love Joe Goebbels" competition. Pretty tough to reconcile that?
The Repubs and Democrats are both obsolete and eventually to be replaced.
I don't see why the things you predict would necessarily happen in the event of a substantial Republican electoral victory. For one thing, the established leadership of both major parties are not very interested in ideology; they are mostly interested in getting along with their donors. Ideology is simply a tool to manipulate the suckers with. For another, at least in the case of the Democratic Party, defeat does not lead to reconsideration and reform but to doubling down; as it was said of another ruling class, 'They have forgotten nothing and learned nothing.' One might find someone local to vote for, but the national parties seem entirely hopeless.
Over the long run, the educational system is the biggest danger to freedom and civil liberties. It's there that kids and particularly college students are being indoctrinated en masse in illiberalism, with ideas like speech is violence if it makes someone feel uncomfortable, or allowing a young man who has been accused basic procedural protections like presumption of innocence and the right to cross-examine his accuser is being "pro-rape."
People who have been taught this in school are now reaching critical mass and starting to dominate all of our institutions. Once that process is complete, freedom is done.
Republicans, despite their innumerable faults and hypocrisies, have pushed back on this. This administration pushed back against the college kangaroo court system. In general, Republicans favor educational reform that will provide more choice, ideological diversity, and free speech.
I am shocked to learn that students, at least in America, are learning anything but the basics and enough STEM subject material to get a crap job after they are cycled out. Are you sure about this? In any case, I still don't see what the Republicans are going to do about it. They've had the presidency, the Supreme Court, the Senate, sometimes the House of Representatives, numerous state governments; and all that gave rise to what you're complaining about. They've had a conservative, pusillanimous opposition party that seems easily frightened and pushed around and is in any case subject to the same plutocrats as themselves. What's going to change that?
Democrats, despite rare moments of GOP Presidents with any level of Congressional power, had essentially unfettered control of the Federal Government for roughly 60 years until the mid-1990s. In the 25 years since, Republicans have had six years where they held House/Senate/POTUS. They have not had the time to offset an Augean stable level of manure accumulation.
There are too many RINOs who fit your description and they need to be weeded out but the GOP is the only realistic alternative to the Democrats who actually gave rise to this state of affairs and who would simply stomp on the gas to accelerate these problems if given the opportunity.

What is it makes you think Trump is a Republican?

Take the red pill and call me in the morning.
I'm not sure I can pull the lever for either Trump or Biden, but I plan to vote Republican for my competitive local house race.
