I'm in my mid 30s and have definitely noticed a gap in perception between people in their early 20s who haven't experienced much of pre-2016 politics and the older folks. The younger folks are much less alarmed because they weren't familiar with the "normal political discourse" that occurred when they were children.
It makes it hard to be optimistic that there is any plausible roadmap back to some form of normalcy in the medium term.
What you want to look at is how countries navigate back to normalcy after coups or assassinations. It's not usually a smooth process, you have to do amnesties or hash out disagreements somehow...
