Yeah, but hitting DC might not be the worst thing ever. Cleaning up the Swamp by different means, perhaps.
I think we could powerwash off the monuments, plant some new cherry trees, and start with some new people representing us. And if any survived because of some damned continuity of government thing worked and some of the swamp survived... we round them up as they emerge from their bunkers and try to assert that they are in charge.
If the swamp gets us nuked, we ought to at least get new leaders outta the deal.
