The Electoral College almost requires a two-party system, but the Whigs were replaced by the Republicans almost wholesale so it could happen again. What I'm wondering is, if it does happen, what are the Democrats going to morph into to oppose it?

It depends on what exactly they are opposing. If it's far-right social conservatism, the Dems will go more libertarian to pick up the middle. If it's the libertarian wing of the Republican party that ends up in control then Dems probably won't move too much from where they are now. Maybe have some slightly more religious candidates in some of the Bible-belt parts of the country.
