Not every republican voter. But everyone who still supports Trump and is planning to vote for him again. Sure that's his base, what else? To me, that's the equivalent for the "alt-right" base, which is just an expression not free of subjective perception, I used to say right-wing populism. But whatever.
If someone's a republican that now supports Trump no matter what - then yeah, he's part of his base, which I do not see as being republican, but as being "alt-right". I get some will never vote anything else but republican no matter what or who, but that doesn't exclude them from being part of said base. If someone's willingly shouting maga and fake news, he's an alt-right person, that I personally do not see as a republican first and foremost any longer. A traditional republican, as I see it, would distance himself more and more from what's going on right now.
