Two immediate thoughts:
A) the fash dry-ran something like this scenario in a couple places in Canada not that long ago with fucking oodles of outside funding and it quickly became a sort of soft coup attempt.
B) It's not often I write about a concern I'm having with patterns I see in the news, and then confirmation that the nazis be going for it pops up the very next day.
This might be a shitshow, but if they give it enough tries, sooner or later they'll get lucky.
