The language of purge is interesting, as every great authoritarian movement begins with a purge of internally suspect people. Germany, Russia, China, and Iraq all went that route.
The open question is whether Trump is as cutthroat as those authoritarians were, and will order the summary executions that he's long called for and calls the mark of a true leader.
