As usual, libs have it exactly backwards. Emotion is the antithesis of Reason.

The sequence of responses as usually understood, begins with a perception of a stimulus in the external world. The meaning of the perception is based on interpretation, a cognitive process which may or may not be rational. The emotional response follows, congruent with the meaning of the interpretation. This is where liberals go astray: they assume that since the emotion fits their interpretation of what’s going on, it must mean they are right.(“it just feels right.”) They don’t realize it is all based on what is too often ideologically distorted interpretation way up the chain.
When conservatives remind us that “facts don’t care about your feelings,” they are making a mentally healthy corrective observation. Naturally, to avoid cognitive dissonance, the observation is furiously opposed.

Emotions are a consequence of evaluation. First one observes an object, then compares it to a standard of value, then makes a value judgment whether or not it is a value, then that judgment is accompanied by an emotion of like or dislike and the desire to gain or keep or avoid or get rid of the object.
Since it is a consequence, it is not a means of knowledge or survival, or a proper guide to action, like reason is.

Literally put, the emotions’ role is to provide the impetus to act (the passion) once the intellect has determined what that action should be. Yep...Long ago observed the inability of Rats in my own family to engage in the process described above.

Liberals are stuck in junior high mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That explains their immature outlook on life.
