That's gonna take a while. That far right are still a needed voting block for the Republicans, even if the more sane Republicans know that they're toxic.

The idealist in me hopes that you won't end up with a terrorist group from it. That chase after the proper purist that will never be a traitor and compromise sounds a lot like cultists searching for a cult leader.
The "good" news in that scenario is that it would probably kill off the extreme rethoric through association.
