Thought about that regarding the current events in Germany. If people democratically vote for fascism, that’s still a democratic vote. Only the outcome might be less democratic (or not at all) but at least once people choose this path willingly, following democratic rules.
At the end it’s perfectly legal to do this. The question is more if it’s good or bad. It maybe even stupid. But here we are.
True, never looked into the protective mechanisms in our constitution. But I bet there is a way to change these mechanisms, once you are the reigning political power.
In the end, the country isn’t a democracy. It’s a complicated system with complicated interactions.
It’s really not impossible that a democracy turns into fascism.

But then we would not be a democracy and being a democracy is written into the constitution.

Will have to research on that.
