Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

I'm curious how some may feel about the further Trumpification of the GOP's national leadership...
How will your priority issues or how will the red team win close, down-ballet races if dear leader gets most or all the attention and money?
From a Hill opinion piece:
"Trump’s GOP is a paradox. The former president now enjoys an unprecedented level of control over the Republican national apparatus. He can freely raid the RNC’s dwindling campaign coffers for legal defense money and appoint family members to key positions while personally directing House Republicans’ disastrous investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden. Trump’s total dominance of the Republican Party is a remarkable thing to behold.
But Republicans’ willingness to bow to Trump on nearly every issue is making their party staggeringly unpopular with voters — and not just the rank and file. Colorado Rep. Ken Buck stunned Capitol Hill on Tuesday by announcing that he’d simply had enough of Trumpism and would resign in just about a week. In an interview with CNN, Buck slammed Congress as “dysfunctional” and remarked that many of his constituents were sick of Trump."
Or how about this history lesson, when one ego driven candidate/Pres. installs his loyalist... "A capricious, self-centered GOP president decides he wants to dump the national party chair and install an even more reliable loyalist. It sounds a lot like former President Donald J. Trump’s ouster of Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee.
But it’s also a rough approximation of President Richard Nixon’s RNC housecleaning more than a half-century ago." (spoiler alert. Nixon's moves didn't work out so well for the GOP...)
I'm curious to know, from those who feel that the red team best represents their priorities & issues and aspirations... how you might feel about the recent events within the GOP/RNC that may signal further corruption, ineptitude and possibly more losing? (If not election results then young hearts & minds for sure).
