In a stunning admission, Leavitt told Bartiromo that mandatory conscription – not seen since the Vietnam War – had not been ruled out by her boss.

    to those thinking “if they did this no one would vote for them again, it would be political suicide”

    My sweet summer child, they would do this is if they knew that there weren’t going to be anymore elections. if they’re 100% sure they can pull that off then they will start mandatory conscription.

      You really would think that at some point us Americans would just literally murder these psycopathic fascists, but apparently we’re happier being cucks to pedophiles.

        well to be blunt you’ve had systems built against you for literal decades to prevent you from doing as much. Healthcare tied to employment, at will employment states, 40+ hour work weeks, the least amount of paid time off or time off in general in the modern free world, and these are just a few examples. You also have law enforcement the nation over that has been “trained” and equipped to act as mini-militaries. And THEN you have several government agencies that have also been trained and equipped as such and that’s even before considering the ACTUAL US Military.

        These are just some examples of systems put into place to ensure that you, your average American, stays in line and doesn’t rebel-rouse.

          Cool, I don’t care.

          You’re just explaining why we are cucks to pedophiles, doesn’t change that every permaonline political slacktivist in the US is still a cuck to the pedophile class.

          Either do something actually useful, or remain a cuck as the horrors only get worse.

      I’m only thinking “Oh great, a convenient way for them to round up all the “undesirables” (liberals, not-whites,critics,etc), execute them if they resist, and send them off to a war unprepared and unequiped so they can be purged in a far less messy way than concentration camps”

      I bet if they can they will only be conscripting Democrat voters, black people, Hispanics, etc.

        If conscripted the only person I’d shoot is my commanding officer

        Thankfully they probably don’t want me anyway

          If all your squad mates are queers and leftists it’s not like you’re in it alone, either. They just gave a whole squad of you weapons and training…

            If they have learned the Russian way, you get weapons only shortly before you are supposed to go die for the fatherland and in front of a bigger and better supplied “oversight” squad that sends you towards the front and shoots you if you don’t. Oh and they are in a well defensible position, of course.

            Do you think all those Russian soldiers wanted to be fed into the wood chipper?

            There are parts of the military that get special privileges for ‘guiding’ the new recruits to the front. Privileges like not going to the front themselves.

              Yeah these chucklefucks aren’t talented enough to build that shit. Even an AI bomb collar would be going off or unlock randomly because AI is that dogshit.

                If I was an evil overlord with any kind of pragmatism my death sentence batallions explosive collars would not be designed to go off to begin with, in fact they’d probably have a battery powered circuit that goes aroudd the entire collar that triggers the detonator if the volatge is interupted, killing anyone who removes the collar or shows too much compitence and survives long enough for the battery to run out.

      they would do this is if they knew that there weren’t going to be anymore elections

      Ballot box or bullet box.

      You’d get street protests from sea to shining sea that would make BLM and Occupy look like the Macy’s Day Parade.

      The US is enormous, authority is devolved, and a lot of what keeps the wheels moving is voluntary compliance. Elections help people to believe that government is popular and their own stupid opinions are just in the tiny minority.

      When you try to force these systems of power through brute force, you break them. It’s a recipe for balkinization and civil war. Same as what happened in the run up to the Civil War, when slavers and abolishionists came to a head.

      You had low key insurrection all through the North long before Buchanan left office. Southern states effectively denying Lincoln a ballot line only fueled his popularity in response.

      Setting up a meat grinder can also be a great way to target your political opposition. A corrupt draft board can draft members of their political opposition. And once in uniform, they can be given the suicide assignments.
