Indeed. You need political mass murders of entire rooms of politicians. Saddam Hussein understood this.
That also only works if you are in power.
Excluded from power, it would not work. There is nothing more replaceable than a politician.
If politician becomes one of the most dangerous jobs, people will stop lining up for it.
It's always been one of the most dangerous jobs, and yet people have always lined up for it. And the more dangerous it is, the worse the caliber of people who will line up for it.
Or at the very least cowardly cretins will stop lining up for it.
God I despise the caliber of individual that inhabits our political system these days.
