“…Similar (economic) situations can be appraised by people in different ways, which leads to different emotions and (political) action tendencies (Keltner & Lerner, 2010; Lerner, Li, Valdesolo, & Kassam, 2015; Marcus, Neuman, & MacKuen, 2017). Anger is particularly relevant in this context, because it has the potential to mobilize even disadvantaged or inattentive citizens to participate in politics (Aytaç et al, in press; Lamprianou & Ellinas, 2019; Valentino, Brader, Groenendyk, Gregorowicz, & Hutchings, 2011). Emotions and emotionalized politics can therefore contribute to reducing inequality in political engagement across socio‐economic groups (Anduiza, Guinjoan, & Rico, 2019; Marx & Nguyen, 2018), although this might come at the cost of a more distrusting, superficial, and polarized electorate (Banks & Valentino, 2012; Suhay & Erisen, 2018; Webster, 2018).…”
