What sort of spooky party calls for the killing of its own members who do not agree with them 100% of the time? It has gotten scary in the party of trump.
Agreed it's fucked up and agreed it's scary under the Party of Trump.
OTOH, reaching this state has been a progression over the past 25+ years. End of the Cold War, the realignment of the GOP, Newt's Contract with America along with the invention of the term "RINO" to force Republicans to either toe the line or GTFO. It was only a matter of time before someone like Trump capitalized on this progression.
