Oppositional defiance disorder swallows GOP [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-05-31  

The modern GOP has but one aim, oppose everything the Democrats get up to. The automatic gain saying of every Democratic proposal has become pathological. The name for this pathology is Oppositional Defiant Disorder, symptoms include

frequent anger

irritable mood

Short tempered

Argumentative

Refusing to comply with requests from other adults.

Questioning or disregarding rules.

Blames others for mistakes or misbehaviour.

Easily annoyed by others

angry and resentful

spiteful and vindictive.

Deliberately annoys others.

This pretty sums up the the Count of Mostly Crisco and his fashy band of hapless miscreants. Adults who manifest ODD can have difficulty with family members and coworkers. They do not deal well with confrontation.



I believe this is a conditioned response to the firehouse stream of fear mongering and lies aimed at culturally conservative vulnerable communities. The treatment requires behavioural therapy.



The whole party is choosing to nominate a man who is hated by a majority of Americans precisely because it makes them unhappy.

It increases their propensity to reject any outcome they don’t like. It does not bode well for January 2025.
