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.
