Then be the party. Take it over from the ground up. https://precinctstrategy.com/

At the top state level, the precinct people get to elect none other than the head of the RNC, as of now, Ronna (Romney) McDaniels. Precinct people also have a big say in who's in the primaries. They also get to elect the electors. It's the behind the scenes power. Imagine being abe to replace Ronna with someone who would actually do something about the likes of Mitt, Murkowski, Collins etc. They could withhold funding and access to the RNC/GOP aparatus.

With all due respect (and I mean that sincerely) I don’t believe that the GOP can ever be reformed from within. This would be like the soldiers and associates trying to reform the Mafia. Not going to happen IMO.
My view is informed by having people close to me who once worked inside various GOP organizations. Trust me, the party doesn’t work for you and me. It works for the big donors and special interest groups.
I don’t dispute that its theoretically possible to take control of the party from the bottom up. But as a practical matter its just not going to happen. In DC money trumps everything.
The RNC/GOP apparatus has a remarkably strong track record converting newly elected people into RINOs. Its the one thing the party is consistently good at. It also has demonstrated time and again its ability to avoid accountability and efforts to change it. It is a durable institution in the true sense of the word. Reagan couldn’t reform it and neither did Trump. What does that tell you?
I also don’t think we have the time to rebuild the party. It could take decades and there’s no guarantee of success. By then we could have a REAL conservative party functioning instead of relying on a fake one. Imagine how great it would be to vote for a party that actually stands for something and fights for it.
We both want the same thing (a real party that represents the interests and values of conservatives) but we have different opinions on how to accomplish it. But that’s OK. Different perspectives make the world go around. :)
