For a long time, we treated the emotional and the civic as separate.
One personal. One political.
But that line is breaking.
What people feel is no longer just shaping how they engage with democracy.
It is shaping the conditions under which engagement unfolds: how attention holds, how risk is perceived, how much complexity someone can stay with.
Not at the margins, but at the core.
