The potential I see is for them to act up so badly that the (bankrupt) cities can’t handle the expenses. Perhaps they assassinate a politician they don’t like, or duplicate the Chicago 1968 Democratic Convention’s riots. The (bankrupt) cities beg the (bankrupt) feds for help, and the National Guard is called up. Martial law is enacted, giving the fascists the chance to surround the white house with tanks and address the (right wing) domestic terrorism problem. This could make the last presidential election The Last Presidential Election.
Obviously, at no time in our history have elections been suspended. Not during the civil war, not during the world wars or any other crisis we have faced as a nation. That’s probably the Rubicon beyond which open civil war begins. Or one branch of the Rubicon.

This would have to be in response to a crisis, as it always is – “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you didn’t think you could do before.”, as Rahm Emmanuel said. Rioting by Occupy idiots, leading to massive crackdowns on potential terrorists (all under the recently passed NDAA), and grabbing power “for the duration of the crisis” could be just such an example. Normal elections will be restored once the crisis is over. This is the sort of thing that marks a banana republic – and we are rapidly becoming one.
To quote George Orwell from 1984 (h/t to Donald at Sense of Events in his excellent piece, “The Left’s Only Question: Who is to Rule, that is all”.)
