It's not gonna happen (because :nuke: ) but the US invoking the draft to fight another full scale war and then getting our asses handed to us by like, Russia China and Iran all at once would probably be the single greatest catalyst for potential revolution.
The illusion of American exceptionalism would be shattered a bunch of libs would be forced to face the reality of the imperial war machine and the ones that make it home will have military training and probably a burning hatred for imperialism.
I love metal but I think there's a kernel of truth to this not in causation but correlation, there was the counter culter but then there was this other side that was this American death drive that really kicked into high gear after the Vietnam war, vets became radicalized in different ways and a lot of them brought some real dark shit back into the American right with them. Kathleen Belew's Bring The War Home goes into great detail about how a new breed of American esoteric fascism and militancy on the right arose out of the post Vietnam war era in no small part due to backlash against the civil rights movement as well.

The seventies really were the perfect moment. I blame heavy metal for this cursed timeline.
