The Threat of Political Violence is All Too Real

Fear is a powerful emotion. It’s one of our greatest motivators as a species; the fear of death, the fear of loss, the fear of losing control. People respond to fear in any number of different ways, whether by becoming defiant or by shutting down into silence. We might tremble, we might scream, we might yell and become aggressive. It depends on the individual. In an election year, it’s important to keep the impact of fear in mind.

They might do it by instilling fear in the public and promising them protection, or they might do it by driving people to be afraid of the other side. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/the-threat-of-political-violence-is-all-too-real-81b2a007343a">Read More</a>
