I mean that there is a realistic existential threat placed on the system of government, by a large part of the population. By plurality, I mean that the largest segment of a population (even if it's not a majority).

You're telling me that govt's that put down a large rebellion don't then start introducing authoritan laws like monitoring communication, restricting free speech, and targeting non-violent sympathizers?
