The unfortunate fact is that all factions have their crazies who are willing to essentially sacrifice their lives to achieve a Phyrric victory.

As an example, had conservatives, rather than liberals, controlled the major outlets of opinion in 1963, the assassination of Kennedy by a Marxist crazy might have been used to resurrect restrictions on domestic Communists and other leftists that had fallen out of favor after the early 1950s.
