I remember reading some sci-fi novel that went exactly this way. President was sick of all the liberal slackers in the city, so he hatched a plot to nuke 'em - and won. The ending bit featured some survivor bringing his crops to wherever by donkey-cart.

This is how you get massive uprisings in a heartbeat.
With your logic this is how you end up with the whole country turning into a nuclear wasteland.
You cannot nuke everyone who is against tyranny in America.
