UK: 1968 to somewhere around 1997 we had a 30+ year 'emergency' with various well-funded para-military organisations operating in Northern Ireland mainly but also the UK. We got through it. The chances of dying as a result of an 'ordinary' murder were always around 30 times higher than dying in a terrorist attack. And both were vanishingly rare.

I've been reading Robert Caro's multi-volume biography of Johnson. He writes somewhere about the US political process eventually mirroring the desires of the population (I suspect in the third and fourth volume where Civil Rights feature). Just keep going for the politics you want.
