Interesing choice of words:
succumb.
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=succumb&x=0&y=0
1 : to yield to superior strength or force or overpowering appeal or desire
2 : to be brought to an end (as death) by the effect of destructive or disruptive forces
Since we're creating a "democracy" at gunpoint, the phrase
overpowering appeal or desire doesn't really apply, unless you mean the
overwhelimg desire not to get shot.
