    It would actually backfire because 57% of male youth voted for Trump, and women don’t get drafted in the USA.

    For anybody who doesn’t understand why 57% of male youth would vote for Trump: TikTok, Twitter, Meta, and Google told them to.

      So what? MAGAs are safe, only Lefties will get drafted, and they’ll draft women, too. This is the 21st century, women want equality, so the Draft is the perfect opportunity to give it to them.

      It’s not like they have to be good soldiers, they’re just sending them to be chopped on the front line. That way you get rid of your political enemies, and you can blame Iran for it.

        They could certainly try that but historically not how drafts work at all. You can’t discriminate draft based on political affiliation, it would just get tied up in courts over first amendment rights.

          This won’t be a legal draft, Trump will sign an EO, and they’ll just authorize ICE to start snatching Military Age Men off the streets of blue cities.

          And yeah, there will be a wild response to it, and the courts will be going crazy, and the MAGAs are going to barrel full speed ahead anyway.

          After the Midterms, it’s their last chance to survive, and they’re painted in a corner. They know they only have two years to crush any opposition, or they’ll go down hard in 2028, and they’ll all go to prison, so they are going to come out swinging with everything they’ve got.
