    Easy, just do what they have always done. Just say the previous admin/party failed to prevent/account for this issue proceed to do nothing about it; put in legislation to make it harder for people to vote against them; stymie any attempts to fix it by saying the other party is trying to sabotage the country; and if they lose their positions of power, say the current admin caused and aren’t fixing the problems your party ignored.

        And the description on the parent comment explains the behavior of populist governments in Latin America as well - polarize the discourse, demonize the opposition, governing politicians live off special privileges and money and they run down the economy, repeating everything to stay in power longer.
