Agreed. This strategy works best in a two party system. Much easier to divide and conquer only 2 choices. Not so much with ranked choice voting and multiple parties. The US was a time bomb of corruption wating to be purchased from either political party. Putin just paid the most for GOP access and got it.
It’s the bog-standard “how to dismantle a liberal society” approach, outlined by, Carl Schmitt. It was already used once in Germany, I imagine the AFD wouldn’t need to go to Russia to learn about it.
The russian model, very effective
