I know that is the fear, but Trump can't win the election.  He lost big time last time and his popularity has only decreased since.  People outside his fan club are tired of Trump, and while some will not come out and vote as you say, I think it will be a small number.  Trump didn't personally increase the number of republicans and they will only vote for him.  He snowed a large number of lifelong repubs that will only vote repub only anyway.  Trump's base is the straight ticket crowd and they aren't going anywhere.  A few far right fanatics will disappear as voters, but that's probably a good thing.
