ODD can be mild, moderate or severe:
Mild. Symptoms occur only in one setting, such as only at home, school, work or with peers.
Moderate. Some symptoms occur in at least two settings.
Severe. Some symptoms occur in three or more settings.
ODD is strictly applied for minors. Untreated, it can lead to NPD, ASPD, and other comorbidities that we apply to adults, though, for sure
Starts in kids, undiagnosed though and…

Well, yeah, if it was present in childhood and goes untreated clinically, the symptoms may continue into adulthood, but we typically would look to further/differential diagnoses after that. I’m about to head to sleep but I can look up some more academic sources on the topic tomorrow
I’m putting copy of this comment at the top because it seems not to be obvious to everyone
Trump did his damnest to fire the Attorney General but he had not purged the Justice Department of people with integrity who would overturn the election.
Project 2025 is already recruiting henchmen to fill the departments.
His Schedule F changes are explicitly designed to enable this.
He is not joking when he says that he is going to seek revenge on his enemies.
There will be no democracy if he is elected. This is not a drill.
Now this is a cause I can get behind.
And it doesn’t (and shouldn’t) stop with Trump. He’s the most brazen psychopath in American politics at the moment (and potentially ever), and he’s clearly the most significant current threat, but he’s far from the only one.
And I would say that our future very obviously depends on not only keeping him, but all of them, out of office.
Is George Conway really a conservative? I thought his wife was the conservative.
He is definitely conservative. But he understands that we will not ever get to vote again if Trump gets reelelected.
Trump is not a conservative.
Edit: it is his ex wife
American Conservatives should be conserving, you know, liberalism. The ideology America basically founded.

Did he or did he not say he would be a ‘dictator on day one’? How do you allow those 2 things to exist in open space without making at least some connection to them? Do all the mental gymnastics you want, seems pretty brazen.

Listen to someone when they tell you the truth.
He won’t put Republicans in control he will put his family in control like in North Korea. He is afraid if he steps down he will go to jail, and also wants to keep power to keep making money and keep getting his narcissism fix.
Like the “never vote again” quote, the “dictator on day one” quote has been pushed relentessly by the Democrats
Dude we don’t even need that at all. Trump’s disloyalty to American democracy became crystal clear after the 2020 elections. He literally spent every single day from election day to January 6 plotting to overturn democracy, going from one scheme to the next until the final act was an outright coup attempt in a mob attack on our capital. That proves he is extremely disloyal to America and our core values and is a power mad neofascist.
Trump is not even supposed to be allowed to run because the 14th amendment says Trump is now disqualified to be president. In Venezuela they made the mistake of allowing Chavez to run for president after he made a failed coup attempt. Chavez completely enshitified the country with a ‘project 2025’ type plan in which competent people in government were replace with incompetent loyalists. That was decades ago and since then millions of people have fled the country and those that remain behind have become impoverished. Venezuela used to be the most successful democracy in South America, but there haven’t been any free and fair elections since Chavez.

It’s about whether there will be another election in 2028 if he wins in 2024.
No it is not. It’s about whether there will be another FREE AND FAIR election in 2028 if he wins in 2024. Venezuela just had an election. Chavez successor claimed victory but in reality he only got about 1/3 of the vote. The have been many elections but no free and fair elections since Hugo Chavez won in 1999 after he was allowed to run in spite of his failed coup attempt.
Stepping down after winning two terms is not defeat, there is no reason for him to fight it.
At a minimum he needs to make absolutely sure nobody can put him him prison for his crimes. He will turn the temperature up for 4 years so see if he can get away with an “emergency” to stay in power. If he can’t pull that off then at the absolute minimum he will rig the 2028 election so that either a family member or a loyalist comes after him to protect him from going to jail for his many crimes.
It’s not like we don’t know have tons of historical examples from all over the world of one man coming to power and then rigging all future elections.

Trump and his MAGA henchmen backed Project 2025 strongly until it started hurting him in the polls
Now you point out that he is lying about it.

WTF? Nobody who put the energy Treason Trump did into overturning democratic elections results in 2020 can possibly be loyal to America and our democratic values. How would anybody have the slightest doubts about Trump’s disloyalty at all after that? He literally spent every single day from election day to January 6 plotting to overturn democracy, going from one scheme to the next until the final act was an outright coup attempt in a mob attack on our capital. That proves he is extremely disloyal to America and our core values and is a power mad neofascist. Nobody who wants power that much should ever be near any power.
Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.
https://www.npr.org/2022/07/22/1112138665/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript
…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.
He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
Ew.
