Fox Psychotherapist Accuses Anyone Worried About A Draft Of Having TDS
I'm not sure who this segment was aimed at, but Fox seems to be doing their best to downplay people's perfectly rational fears over the possibility of Trump instating a military draft.
On this weekend's The Sunday Briefing with Jacqui Heinrich, Heinrich brought in Fox's favorite winger psychotherapist to weigh in on concerns over changes in the Selective Service registration process, and Alpert accused anyone who had those fears of suffering from TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome and wondered how many people in Gen Z might use it as an excuse to avoid the draft.
HEINRICH: The Selective Service System recently submitted a rules change for eligible men to be automatically registered into the military draft pool by December. The change is aimed at streamlining a process that already requires eligible men to register themselves. And despite the shift falling in line with provisions already mandated in the 2026 NDAA signed just last December, it is drawing renewed attention amid this ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
For more, let's bring in psychotherapist and author of Therapy Nation, Jonathan Alpert. Jonathan, thank you. I want to get right to it. If you look at social media, it might have you thinking that there's going to be a draft. There isn't, but there's a lot of hand wringing online. So what is going on?
