Anger is considered negative because of the damage it otherwise does, both to the person and to personal relations. Sure, it gives you a jolt of pleasure, but it is also toxic and harms your health. Things like ulcers and heart disease and substance abuse often arise from it.
And then there’s the way it corrodes interpersonal relations as well: anger needs something to be angry at, and those who don’t share your anger become your enemy from your point of view.
Anger is like a motor additive that may feel like it’s making your motor run stronger, but by giving you a boost it’s corroding the parts.
You can see this in people who have been angry for a long time, like the Q cultists. They are not healthy people, often showing signs of high blood pressure or other problems.

That ties into one of the better parts of SW extended universe: the idea that using the Dark Side, tapping into your fear and anger and hate and envy and so on for power, is bad for your mind, your soul and your body. It eats you up, leaving you physically and mentally twisted and withered, forcing you to rely on it more and more.

to paraphrase Shantideva from Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life:
“a moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of virtue”.

It’s slow. Qngressnut Lauren Boebert won her reelection by about 500 votes. Under her fearless leadership, over 1500 constituents of hers died from preventable cases of COVID-19. By this time next election she should have killed off another few hundred, which could be enough to flip the seat.
