    Politicians play on people's fears in order to gain political support. They do this by highlighting issues that cause public anxiety and presenting themselves as the solution. However, using fear as a political tool can oversimplify complex problems and lead to poor decision making. While addressing legitimate security concerns, leaders must avoid exploiting non-issues or inflating threats for political gain. Overall, an appeal to reason is preferable to one based on emotion when discussing challenging public matters.
