Holy Quran 2:204
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهُۥ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَيُشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا فِى قَلْبِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَلَدُّ ٱلْخِصَامِ
And of the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls Allah/God to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the fiercest of opponents [towards truth].
Holy Quran 2:205
وَإِذَا تَوَلَّىٰ سَعَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيهَا وَيُهْلِكَ ٱلْحَرْثَ وَٱلنَّسْلَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَسَادَ
And when he goes away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption therein and destroy crops and animals [equivalent to business and jobs today]. And Allah does not like corruption.
Holy Quran 2:206
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ أَخَذَتْهُ ٱلْعِزَّةُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ ۚ فَحَسْبُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ
And when it is said to him, "Fear Allah," pride in the sin takes hold of him. Sufficient for him is Hellfire, and how wretched is the resting place.
Such a people tend to claim again and again that they are merely well-wishers and only striving to uphold what is true & right, and to promote the overall welfare of the people rather than doing so for the sake of ones’ own self-aggrandizement.
Holy Quran 52:32
أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
Or do their minds {intellect} command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?
In relation to this particular verse as it relates to Our prophet s.a.w when the Chiefs of the Qaraish posed themselves to be very wise people calling the prophet s.a.w a poet {from the recitation of Quran} when he was never known to be a poet prior, also a madman/crazy when he was well-known among his people to be very trustworthy and wise, or even someone bewitched when he didn’t have the remotest association with sorcery...If such wise people are passing such judgements on the basis of intellect & reason, they should have passed one judgement in truth, not so many contradictory judgments simultaneously. After all, how can one man be a poet, madman {insane}, and sorcerer at the same time...
We live today in a unique time where money is seen to define everything; what is true and what is false...Money buys education, educational favors and positions within establishments & government but it is far often inevitably seen to not correlate with wisdom's nor intellect that should accompany such pricey education. For world leaders to stand before the world and speak like an adolescent in a condescending manner is shameful to say the least and it literally reflects the society from which such people emerge.
Wouldn’t it be a sight to have such tough-guy leaders and promoters of wars and injustices put themselves in front of their protection like kings and sultans of old instead of hiding in the rear with the women and children at home in luxuries like the cowards they are? Commanding others to do what you yourself are afraid to do, isn’t gangster...

Emotions were traditionally viewed earlier on as a nuisance towards governance (Edelman 1985; Kuklinkshi et al.1991); However, more recently emotions have been considered to central for: Political participation (Valentino et al. 2007), Public Opinion (Braden 2006), Processing of information (Lodge and Taber 2005), Political Discussion (Cho 2013), Political Tolerance (Small et al. 2006), and Policy Attitudes (Albertson and Gadarian 2015).
Political science has thus morphed into a science of understanding how emotions shape the evaluation process of socio-polictical issues and thereby elicit a response, which is often measured by anger and fear perhaps the most dominant of emotions targeted. For example; in a study conducted by Druckman & McDermontt (2008), they found that whenever people are confronted with hypothetical diseases, war, or other insecurities that are framed in a manner that either showcases suggestions of action from the perspective of saving lives or from a more damaging narrative to provoke actions in preventing major losses of life...Emotions either temper or amplify these effects on risky choices. Fear and anger are almost always significantly following group appraisals, which makes complete sense, for an individual would be insignificant unless he/she represented a very large group of people who would follow. Further more the psychological underpinnings of such research is usually characterized several ways.

Political Psychologist mostly assume emotions to be automatic {in other words, uncontrollable}, and so its impossible to disentangle emotions from regular cognition (Huddy et al. 2007; Winkilman and Cacioppo 2001; Murphy and Zajonc 1993). Also drawing on conclusions of neuro-science (Adolphs and Damasio 2000, 2001), Lodge and Taber (2005) which demonstrated the automatic response of emotional responses on affective contagion.

Furthermore, they suggest that all political objects to some extent become emotionally correlated, by which individuals and groups then appraise the significance of a political situation and thus act accordingly. Such emotions that people feel like anxiety...Becoming more anxious the individual then begins to behave in such a way that helps him/her cope better with that anxious feeling like becoming more disconnected to the source of anxiety {in this case maybe the news}, or by driving a persons more towards becoming more politically engaged.
One way to understand the psychology in politics is to consider the appraisal caused to also lead into the solution of orchestrating a synchronized bodily response in a variety of ways with cognition.

On another branch of politics, Carl Marx the famous economist was also regarded for his view of the capitalist worker through the lenses of psychological interest...He {Marx}, was bewildered in watching the willingness of people to go out of their homes each day and sell their energies & talents to company’s who utilize their human-capital and at the completion of each day or project, watch the detachment psychologically of the individual from that in which they helped or produced on their own. To his amazement, like the child who comes home with something they’ve produced in school. The child is very proud and is further emboldened by their parents who show it off by placing it on display {the refrigerator or otherwise}. It further, uplifts them by coming home to see it still placed in subsequent days, and promotes more creativity and effort to produce when they witness the parents holding conversations with their friends or other visiting relatives...
Even as adults, we can still find the psychological attachment to what it is we produce or partake in our share. This otherwise forced separations from what it is we produce has been the subliminal training/ conditioning for servitude. What we as human-beings feel from attachments has always been something great, and the more passionate we are about what it is we produce, the more profound the separation will be for anyone who has to relinquish their control over their intellectual property, or effort(s) made to achieve a particular goal for standard of living unfair or unequal to how we value our own outputs...

“Culture is the replacement of religion in a secular-society; The Law of man {removal of individual sovereignty} ideas {Politics/philosophy}, customs {ceremonial traditions of celebration & pride of heritage}, and social behaviour {mash-up of conditioned response in measurable outcome of actions} of a particular people or society.” ~Isma’il Swift~
“Culture” The Latin root cult means “grow.” This Latin root is the word origin of a good number of English vocabulary words, including culture, cultivate and horticulture. The rootcult is easily recalled via the word agriculture, for agriculture is the “growing” of plants via farming. As it pertains to the human-being this same cult-ivation would thus be a type of grooming of the mind or personality of an individual that would then play into the overall social behaviours of that particular area.
As political scientist would further have you to believe or consider, Is the so called intrinsic value, which culture provides in important social and economic benefits. Its merely rhetoric to me with ideal implications at best; in contrast its a complete neglect of individualism’s with a sort of collective conditioning that is pursuant towards a particular social-climate...Why? Because, culture as we know it is a living & continuous changing process that is promoted on every tier of society all aimed at producing the traits of behaviours wanted or needed for those tiers within a society’s classism. Secondly, this type of cultural-conditioning seems to target more widely the masses in framing for us our examples for life...Celebrity-ism is used to personify the ideals through various characters, while the elite write the scripts for them to act out for the audiences of the world they seek to control. So, although we humanity can demonstrate within certain capacities, improved learning, better health, increased tolerances, and opportunities to come together with others... Culture Still doesn’t measure up in offering the type of cohesion needed in society, it rather misguides upon a forever slippery slope that descends further into killing what keeps human-beings human...
Holy Quran 54:3
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement...[Ultimately, all affairs reach their appointed term].

Hence, Appraisal theorist claim that objects are appraised in terms of their likelihood to facilitate or inhibit an individuals goals that helps to trigger an emotional response and action tendency. Through dimensions of certainty, pleasantness, attention, control, effort, and responsibility is perhaps the most popular of proposals to consider in terms of appraisal, but Anger, Fear/Anxiety, and Hope/Enthusiasm are the three most frequently used methods employed for crowd appraisal.
One particular condition we currently find ourselves in is, while anger is the emotion that often tends to depress information-gathering behaviours, decreasing attention spans toward the political environment. Because its so strongly hinged on emotions {anger}, angry individuals rather than fact-finding expeditions they are more prone to seek out idealist or partisanship consuming pro-attitudinal news that further pushes them emotionally to aligning themselves to these radical groups in their rhetoric. This partisan-style citizenship then becomes something of patriotism or nationalism, in which calls for loyalties towards these ideals over anything else {God, Law, country, people, security, Justice}.
- Anger is used to inhibit or draw people to the appraisal of inhibiting or frustrating them in terms of their relevant goals individually or collectively. Differing from Fear, Anger, is considered the lesser of the two primarily because its something still considered under control; and because its still controllable its usually associated with acquiring behaviours that are typified towards risk-seeking and or when higher tolerances for risk are needed. Moreover, anger also tends to lean upon haphazard processing in judgment in their evaluations, utilizing shortcuts & stereotypes in their appraisals. Thought to apprehend the cognitive content, Anger is pursued for its punitive policies and punishments, which is a very powerful response for policy makers who seek to change or take huge risk in this area of politics.
- America has never been a country that stands in defence of African-Americans’ and because she doesn’t neither does her citizens. Even for those who have served in uniform...The honour is toward the uniform and its symbolic relationship back to nationalism not the ethnicity of the person who served...Its also true that she also doesn’t stand for other non-white ethnicities; however, unlike the Black people, other ethnic groups are either represented by homeland states or supportive organizations that can still draw civil-power towards inequality issues they might have. The NAACP isn’t an organization with the strength of a state, thus until Black America finally bridges her gap of separation from Africa will anyone find any support as other ethnicities leverage.
- Another side note, to me worth mentioning, Feminisms movement was also propagated on the emotion of anger/frustrations as women have made an effort to expose themselves from behind the identities of their husbands and the sacred bonds of marriage because the circumstances of society have changed the relationship of trust between men and women especially in the Western world. Their arguments thus become fundamentally flawed that men & women are equal ; we are in the eyes of our creator un-alienating anyone from these naturally given rights. However, we are functionally different and hence not equal in ways of the divinely prescribed way society is supposed to function...so what we end up with is a chaotic, never ending debate that will continually shift blame from one side to the other, rather than returning to the circumstances that have caused the great divide within the sacredness of our union between our genders.

Holy Quran 2:165
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَندَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ يَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِذْ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْعَذَابَ أَنَّ ٱلْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعَذَابِ
And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah. And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment.
Holy Quran 2:166
إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتُّبِعُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَسْبَابُ
[And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship],
Holy Quran 2:167
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ حَسَرَٰتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَٰرِجِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ
Those who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.
- Fear/Anxiety is believed to be driven by innate mechanisms that allow humans to adapt to threatening circumstances (Gray 1987; Herb 1949). Although it is often lamented the public sphere, it does however carry an associated heightened awareness & focus on threats. Releasing hormones such as epinephrine/cortisol found to strengthen recall, while fear also elicits avoidance. In relationship to Fear, anxiety is generally perceived to correlate more with unknown dangers, while fear is enjoined to immediate threats. In addition to avoidance at times when this behavior is enacted for those who seek to avoid the sources of fear, But not excluded from this emotion are what it elicits of fight or flight...
- Guarding the public’s attention to salient issues, anxiety thus serves an important function in the political arena redirecting the attentions of citizens. Perhaps the most effective way this is done is by allocating more attention and news coverage towards the preferred candidate, something that the Impeachment process is being used for in redirecting its content & drama in ways that will still draw supporting appraisals for Mr. Trump. Facilitating persuasion (Brader 2006) and frames the perimeter of its influence to lesser educated individuals mainly through rally’s and other emotional-laden campaign advertisements. Politics of the presidency is projected to surpass the media’s current curriculum of broadcast television, which means the enormous amounts of money being spent to broadcast these political campaigns are overcasting their shadows over normal television programming. Anxious individuals may also be more supportive of protectionist policies (Brader et al. 2008); Albertson and Gadarian 2015). Lament use of anxiety in political rhetoric utilizes those who demonstrate most what appeals to the public in embodying what people then begin to appraise.
Holy Quran 33:67
وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۠
And they will say, "Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the [right] way.
- Hope is defined by a sense of both agency {service} and a path forward; integrated with an appraisal of the future and less determinant by emotions. Thus anyone who sees hope outside the agency and pathway forward will be less likely to obtain hope. Inversely offering change from the current conditions of status quo, therefore hope becomes a motivator in directing group behaviours towards achieving goals. Politically these achievable goals can be for the overall good of society, but also can be motivational for purposes of partisanship, ethnicity, nationalistic, or racist views. Fortunately, hope requires the ability of forecasting...
- Trump as a politician doesn’t carry this ability, in fact he is ideologically void outside his own self-determinations to further enrich himself. Money doesn’t change people, it reveals more of who they are...Trumps vacuum of ideology has been promptly filled from both his left and right. On his right he is being used to propagate further the Israeli agenda {Judaeo-Christian [radical evangelicals] Alliance} of pax Judeaca In preparation to the Great War (Armageddon), and on his left the Steve Bannons and white-supremisist fill is domestic agenda of “Making America Great Again.” Ironically, either one of both ideologies will still sufficiently help both because either will lead America to civil war within herself, which is the reason you have Trump speaking at the Annual Chief of Police Conference in Chicago 28 oct 2019, where he compared Chicago to Afghanistan. The militarization of local police departments are set to handle the chaos of urban areas whenever that time arises, or they can be used to further seize the country toward the pending tyranny they seek...In other words the end of elections and the complete collapse of American democracy which we all see being displayed by the current administration.
|
The Impeachment process is bridging both sides of the agenda; while using Trumps abuse of power and national security atrocities, Russia is further demonized and hated for her rehabilitation back to super-power-dom and influence of National soverignty & international laws. This is because she {Russia} & China still remain opposing powers for Pax Judeca.

In America, the impeachment process angers one side driving them to disengage, while those who engage are driven by their anger in less effective methods. On the other side of the domestic coin are those driven by enthusiastic associations that are propagated through Trump rally’s...They {white-supremisist} see this junction in political appraisal as clear indicators that they are on the verge of regaining control over America, and thus she will be made great again. Enthusiasm is a positive emotional state preceded by a certainty appraisal, and rooted in the present as opposed to the future. Enthusiasm is less coupled to cognition or estimations of future outcomes or risk. Enthusiasm cause individuals to highly engage in partisan loyalties & predispositions. Although enthusiasm can promote a broader motivation in information searching, it doesn’t conclude these additional efforts in rewarding better accuracy...so, the continued loyalties are fed more enthusiasm with “feel-good” slogans and political cheap shots.
