According to the Behind the Bastards eps on Reinhardt Heydrich, he bluffed his way into the upper echelons of the SS by taking cues from spy thrillers, but didn't actually have any real expertise regarding security or intelligence.
Far-right movements draw the most incompetent but they are popular the wealthy so they get sponsorship. It's the infusions of cold cash that does all the heavy lifting.
Depends what sort of competence. I couldn't have done what Heydrich pulled off. Also Trump: never going completely under despite being extremely incompetent, is a sort of competence in itself.
