And they can do that with "ethnic cleansing" - making it just uncomfortable enough for African-Americans, Jews, LGBTs etc. so that they voluntarily leave the country.

Indeed, the fundies are so intoxicated with what they see as their newfound power that they are now harboring delusions of bringing back the entire mid-20th-Century social hierarchy - with themselves at the top, other WASPs in second place, followed by "ethnic Protestants" such as Norwegian Lutherans, the Catholics beneath them, Irish and German Catholics higher, Mediterranean Catholics lower, then the Jews, followed by Asians, Native Americans and Latinos in that order, and of course, at the absolute bottom, African-Americans.

Most likely they would cause America to splinter, with targeted people finding comparatively safe havens... even in the South there is the Black Belt, and some very liberal cities. Black people with guns might welcome white victims of political or religious persecution, but they are going to keep those guns loaded for any fascists in garish robes.

Americans will not support 'ethnic cleansing'. Middle-class white people often know some white person who has gone over to some non-white part of the middle class and joined the gene pool. Going to join the 'white trash' of ignoramuses in contempt of learning? That is for losers.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
