4. I've been thinking about this too...

Here’s my take-
The third rail of politics is not SS, it is actually a military draft. One whiff of a draft will automatically peel off service age men from MAGA.

So- Dems should push this: Any military action… globally or in the USA, ANY MILITARY ACTION TAKEN
whether by Presidential whim or agreed upon BY Congress, automatically triggers a draft nation wide.

In such a case… the minute the Marines were sent to LA? DRAFT
Blow up a drug boat? DRAFT

Any administration would certainly think more than twice before they crossed that line.

JMHO
