Without a major geopolitical change, like escalation of US-China tensions, sanctions on SE Asia or straight up war - likely never. Despite every incentive in place (tax breaks, consumer goodwill, better accessibility/control), what is the last domestic electronics manufacturing success story?

Manufacturing capacity will shift to South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, India etc. before the US if that happens. The labor and expertise needed to set up such an operation is just not available here anymore.
