What would they do differently?

J. B. Shurk asks Has the U. S. Government Declared War on it's Citizens? And one has to ask, if someone wanted to destroy the country, what would that person do differently?

Imagine if the U.S. government targeted a foreign nation state by devaluing its currency, pushing waves of migrants across its borders, undermining the security of its elections, denigrating the unifying elements of its citizens' shared history, stoking the flames of any racial or ethnic discord, and spreading fake news in order to incite the passions of its people. Wouldn't we call that an effective, albeit immoral, hybrid war strategy for taking down an enemy without ever having to fire a shot? Does that assessment change if the hybrid war is being fought, not against a foreign nation, but rather against the individual American states and their citizens?
Shurk cites three examples: a) Open borders, b) Election insecurity, and c) Destruction of the middle class. I would note too that while this has become more apparent under Biden and the Democrats, it is really a bipartisan issue. I would call it an issue between the elite...er...scavenger class and the citizen.  But go check out the whole article.
