    Not practically, they actually tried it with Executive Order 14160.

    Nobody is safe because no one has birthright citizenship under the Trump admin. Eventually they will move on from immigrants and target anyone they deign to notice.

      In January, to punish America for the Midterm Bloodbath, Trump will announce an executive order for a Draft, and they’ll send all the young trouble makers to die in a Russia-style meatgrinder war in Iran. MAGA won’t care if they kill a million young American Democratic Socialists.

      I’ll say it right now: There is no possible way that my son will be getting drafted into a Trump MAGA War.

        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.
