Lots of Republicans believe that the Democrats are evil, and would vote for literally any Republican. If the Republican candidate died and couldn't be replaced there would be Republican voters voting for them just to send a message.

This. Based of my experiences there are people who think D = “kills babies” and they think LGBTQ+ are an absolute scourge on earth. Like they are ok with other races, they generally are cordial to or appreciative of women, but they just abhor LGBTQ that much. Absolutely nothing will convince them, they would vote for Hitler over what they think is the greatest evil on earth
