Death by a thousand cuts.
Let's control the internet (potentially tamping down dissent), eventually strike blows against citizens right to defend themselves, open our borders like some freaking pinata exploded so deviants from numerous countries can exploit our ever-decreasing lack of defense (including an air force that is at its lowest numbers since its creation in the 1940's), and then have more people than ever in our history relying on federal aid of some type, thereby increasing the likelihood of their compliance.
Nahhhhh ........... death by a thousands cuts is some conspiracy theory hatched in some church or something.
