Emotions arent rational, Bit you can rationalize them.

Depends on your theory of mind. There seems to be plenty of room for a substance dualist to say that emotions aren't inherently rational in nature. Seems like there's less room for a physicalist to claim as much.

Or you could just be an idealist and say nothing is dual.

That's not really a position that's unique to idealism. What's interesting is that the only way to distinguish idealism from materialism is through the lens of dualism.
