What is it in Yellowstone that will kill everybody in America if it blows up?

The much bigger issue is the nuclear winter that could follow if the Yellowstone supervolcano were to erupt. While the chances of it happening anytime soon are low when it does there will be likely a huge impact on the US and world.

A caldera.

Well guys, I enjoyed our time here together.
BTW, does anybody have any cases of MREs? Have a slightly used wife for trade.

A volcano whose caldera has an area of around 1500 square miles. A full eruption would kill about half (geographic area, not population) of the US simply from the ash. Nothing toxic or poisonous. Just their houses will collapse and crush people under the weight of it.

Would that kill us here in SE Texas?

Yellowstone erupts about every 200K years on avg.
It’s well overdue.

No, you'd be safe. Midwest and northeast fricked

Hope I'm gone before it does it again.
It will be bad.

Good news, it is on the scale of hundreds of thousands of years.
Bad news, you're off by about 400k years.
Worse news, it apparently doesn't work like that.

We've heard many statements that Yellowstone is overdue -- that it has a major eruption every 600,000 years on average, and since the last eruption was 631,000 years ago...well...you can see where this is going. Is this true? In a word, no. In two words, no way. In three words, not even close. Yellowstone doesn't work that way."

“In a word, no. In two words, no way. In three words, not even close. Yellowstone doesn’t work that way,” wrote Michael Poland, Scientist-in-Charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, on March 25.
“In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three — at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, we still have about 100,000 years to go, but this number is based on very little data and so is basically meaningless (would you base any conclusion on the average of just two numbers?),” he wrote.
In the blog post, Pollard said that volcanoes don’t erupt on a schedule.

We wouldn't die instantly in Louisiana, but the nuclear winter that follows wouldn't be fun.
ETA: volcanic winter, I meant
