English term or phrase: there seemed no way for it to go -only to simmer and simmer
"The anger and outrage were palpable, but in a country with no political parties...with no independent trade unions or social movements of any sort, there seemed no way for it to go -only to simmer and simmer. The ideal recipe for producing suicide bombers".

consumirse


Explanation:
Si derivamos la idea que aportan los diccionarios para "simmer" de hervir a fuego lento (también es lo que aporta el Oxford bilingüe)y la aplicamos a la situación que se describe, creo que una solución del tipo "dejar consumir" o "consumirse" puede ser acertada.

¡Suerte con el resto de la traducción!
