and the Republican party shrinks,

Is it shrinking? The popular vote doesn't suggest so.

2004: Bush 62M (W, 51%) Kerry 59M (L)

2008: McCain 60M (L, 47%) Obama 69M (W)

2012: Romney 60M (L, 48%) Obama 66M (W)

2016: Trump 63M (W, 48%). Hillary 68M (L)

2020: Trump 74M (L, 46%) Biden 81M (W)

Edit: added the Republicans percentages.

eventually the Democratic party will fracture too, and we might get a real progressive party out of it.

When will this happen? How would this even be different than now? If the "Democratic party" turn into Republicans on the issues to get rid of the "Republican party", you didn't get rid of Republicans. You rebranded them and gave them victory on the policy front just to claim victory on the optics front...

It seems much more likely that the Democratic parties policy of appeasement leads to normalization of right wing policies and we get full blown facsism first.
