I kind of hope, perhaps naively, that because the US military generally does take self-preservation and safety somewhat seriously, especially in terms of the big stuff like nuclear, that the actual steps to targeting US territory and then actually launching the nuke on US territory, would have several "I'm not launching the first nuke on US citizens" types to stand in the way. There's even already a historical precedent for refusing to launch nukes on US citizens. I'd like to think, in the case of internal political instability, most launch sites and non-national guard bases will focus on keeping civilians away and telling dumbass governors to fuck off.

I remember the entire 8 years after Obama's HOPE campaign where it feels like mostly nothing really happened, except perhaps gay marriage, but you know everything else kind of got worse.

as if there will be some flash point where everything just burns down

"everything burns down" is a bit hyperbolic, but national supply chains will either get fixed/replaced in a matter of days/weeks, or they didn't really matter, or they'll start to fall like dominos and then suddenly if it doesn't exist within 25 miles of your home you better accept it or packup and move.

Huaguoyuan Towers were intentionally built 80 meters shorter (335m vs 415m) so that if someone attempted to recreate 911 in China, the airplanes would fly over the towers instead of making impact.
