The Democrats will do it.
And if that drives off the libs, the Republicans will make boogeyman noises or proffer the idea of Trump being able to get a 3rd term. And the liberals will rally round their blue-no-matter-who chant even as their children get carted off to whatever fucky warmongering the US is getting involved in next.
That's absolutely how it will go if the US decides it needs the draft.
Some straw man will be created as the new "threat to democracy". Could be Trump, could be whoever else.
If people are already willing to vote for actual genocide just to keep out trump, the draft wouldn't be such a stretch. Just implement a system where you can make a "freedom donation" to exempt your family and rich white liberal families would have no objections.
if one party will commit political suicide like that it really would be the dems lol
