The only way to bring down the US Government is going to be with a series of strikes driven by American guerilla warfare units.
The US Military has never, ever been able to survive attacks by guerilla units that aren't regular army. ALL of their defence tactics are developed to defend against regular army, and when they face up against insurgency, they lose every single time.
Create a few militias and strike against low level security targets that are high value to the US Government, and they'll fall pretty quickly.

I'm of the opinion that well see an urban poor versus the rural areas if the gravy-train of free food, utilities and housing were interrupted for even a monent.
Just look at the nonsense that took place for a chance for a housing voucher: youtu.be...
What do you think would of happened if a computer glicth that prevented food stamp money from being deposited had taken longer than 48 hours to be corrected?

Chaos. Looting. Fires. Rape. Robbery. Shootings at frequent intervals. Every single first world nation is literally held hostage by a small segment of the population that is gorging on the tit of free federal dollars. If that system has the slightest hiccup # goes sideways in a hurry. Imagine if it were to be interrupted for any significant length of time.
I know, the auto-response is, "Well what about corporate welfare?", which I detest equally. But somethong tells me that if the tax code was tightened up and corporations like GE were suddenly on the hook for more taxes the shareholders wouldn't go loot and burn the local KFC and Nike outlet.
Anyways, here is the most realistic scenario I've come across:

Doubt you could seize those silios before the US military disabled them.
If they are like the ones in Europe they have special kill procedures in case a area is over run (ie the russians) as no one wants a nuke turned on you.
A civil war would likely involve some portion of the military defecting. It's not entirely unreasonable to believe that a few nuclear bases would defect.
I'm sure there are safeguards in place to prevent the missiles from being launched, but if you have access to the base nothing says you can't send technicians into the missile and remove the warhead to repurpose elsewhere.

I'm saying you don't need the missile. Take out the warhead, load it on a truck. Park the truck in some city and... boom.
