Because it's MUCH more difficult to establish a new political party brand than it is to co-op an existing brand.

The necons co-opted the Republican Party from the late '60s to 2016. MAGA is co-opting it now.

Only partly, I think. Establishment Republicans keep getting elected to Congress and at state and local levels. It doesn't seem the party itself is changing anything to become more Trump-ish.
