It's how civil wars are fought these days by fascists, screw up as much as you can and blame the government, cause chaos and social division, discontent with the government, make it dysfunctional if you can. Then present yourself as a solution, even though you are the actual cause, once you attain power continue to destroy the institutions of democracy starting with the courts and the ability to have meaningful elections. Minority rule and the last thing they want is the rule of law, the constitution is an impediment not a guiding document. The judges who support fascism in America would be its victims, they would shoot them in their robes outside the courthouse for treason against the great leader or for getting in the way of suppressing minorities.
