🔆Understanding Emocracy: From Rational Debate to Emotional Influence
✅Traditionally, democracy is built upon logical reasoning, debate, and informed citizenry. 
✅In an ideal democratic setup, policies are formulated and debated based on evidence, expert insights, and rational decision-making. 
✅However, in an emocracy (fusion of ‘emotion’ and ‘democracy’), decision-making is increasingly dictated by public emotions, viral narratives, and psychological persuasion tactics.
✅It is visible worldwide—from the rise of leaders like Donald Trump in the U.S. to Brexit in the U.K. and the nationalist surge in several European nations.
