It seems more dangerous because of the speed and reach of "news". We had a Civil War, we have had massive riots in the 1960's. We have been on the brink of nuclear war, over real situations, and "accidents".

The real danger going forward is that one of the 2 viable political parties has made a mockery of the idea of governing. This lays bare the bankrupt ideology that is Conservatism.
