That combined with the emotion of losing those closest to her and the feeling everything she'd spent years working for had crumbled around her left her desperate and in her mind feeling she had no other choice than to take the 'rule by fear' route. You could literally tell by the emotion in her face before she chose to attack that she still seemed conflicted on what she was about to do but ultimately felt it had to be done.

All of these sequences happened in the past two episodes. Aside from Jorah's death (which also made no sense since he was fighting thousands of wights inside the damn castle) these back-to-back tragedies came across as terribly executed plot devices with the sole intention of stripping everything away from her and to portray her as a raging lunatic. Their sloppy, rushed execution is why people are up-in-arms about this whole ordeal. None of it makes sense other than them desperately wanting us to view her as her father's daughter and not as her own person.
Further to that how on earth are people not going to be scared of the bitch with a DRAGON anyway, regardless of if she burned the city or not, she’s got a Dragon, you’d be terrified
