Oppositional Democratic Disorder

New York Presbyterian Hospital had developed a clinical diagnosis that explains large segments of the Democratic Party

What is ODD?
ODD is a persistent pattern (lasting for at least six months) of negativistic, hostile, disobedient, and defiant behavior in a child or teen without serious violation of the basic rights of others.

What are the symptoms of ODD?
Symptoms of ODD may include the following behaviors when they occur more often than normal for your age group:

losing your temper

arguing with adults; defying adults or refusing adult requests or rules

deliberately annoying others

blaming others for your own mistakes or misbehavior

being touchy or easily annoyed

being angry and resentful

being spiteful or vindictive

swearing or using obscene language

having a low opinion of yourself

Unfortunately the only know cure - granting them absolute power over the lives of everyone - is far more dangerous than the disease.
