Terrorism is a great buzzword for fearmongering purposes. I mean shit, did you listen to Trump's speech last night? He made it sound like we're living in an inferno of crime, economic depression, and imminent terrorist annihilation.
For me, no, I'm not worried about 'terrorism' affecting me personally. There are plenty of places where the fear of terrorism is warranted and reasonable - it's just America isn't one of them. I have a better chance of getting killed by tripping into traffic than any sort of terrorist plot.
And the 'economy' is just going to be a perpetual item at the tops of peoples' minds. I can't recall a time when people didn't complain about the economy in some form or another - even when the statistics were great.
