Hysterical emotionalism makes hysterical, emotional people feel better. Like most of the hysterical, emotional posts on SI.

Cheap therapy for the ignorant, the fearful and the confused. If they can lash out at someone else, they feel like they are regaining some of the control that world events are taking away from them.

OTOH, they could take a deep breath, settle down and get a clue about what's really going on and cope OK. But Limbaugh et al made cheap emotionalism (along with ethnic bigotry) fashionable again.
