This tweet is difficult to parse however once threshed the takeaway is chilling:
With this election, the US President is methodically culling the entire National Republican Party of any members but loyalists.

Trump isn’t taking out Democrats; Trump is taking out Republicans–who aren’t Trump supporters!
The action of removing your weakest opponents and supporters is a historically sound despotic method for consolidating support into power. In other words, Trump as US President is usurping control of the GOP–an entire US political party “purified” into undiluted Trump idealists.
The Democrats as centrists are weakened by a spurned Left. Conservatives turned off by Trump are self-neutralized by imagining Democrat centrists are their bogies, the Left.
The only group which remains strong & united are Trump loyalists, a soon-to-be purified/supplanted GOP.

God please let me be wrong.
Win or lose, what we may be facing on November 7th is Trump stronger than ever. IF that’s the case this election isn’t a fight then; it’s a strategy & a conclusion we can’t escape: Trump has taken control of the United States: We are at war. It’s only been unofficial.
Again, if what Zubrin’s tweet implies is even near correct then war is the inevitable conclusion, God help us all.
