I heard that argument often, and it's true that the same way and same "we essentially keep the old constitution alive completely and change laws in ways that were technically legal" as back then won't work.

However, fascism - also in the 1930s already - also has strategies like: "Just doing illegal things and overstepping what your posts are allowed to do, knowing you can only be stopped by force, even if judges and your superiors disagree." That one was a massive part of how Hitler quickly outmanoeuvred von Papen, even though Papen was chancellor and Hitler "just" vice chancellor. The NSDAP-adjacent ministers, police chiefs, judges, etc. simply did not report to Papen, no matter what the law and constitution said.

What I am getting at: One should never think the laws on paper are some kind of shield and holy fact, only the laws as the executive (cops and courts, essentially) protects and enacts are what really matters, and those are corruptible, no matter how good the constitution is. (Another often quoted example: The constitution of North Korea also guarantees a lot of freedoms and rights, but no one would say, that protects the people there.)
