Like many Americans, Carolina Giuliani was paralyzed over the prospect that Donald Trump — the man she blames for ruining her father and damaging her family — could be close to returning to the White House.

“It’s a hard phenomenon to understand. It definitely is,” Carolina Giuliani said. “I view Trump as a disease, and I think it’s really important to remember that with every disease, prevention is a much more effective strategy than treatment. … I thought we had cured ourselves of it the first time, but it doesn’t seem like we have.
“And I think if he becomes the president again, we may have a terminal illness in our country. And that really, really scares me.”

I believe a large part of Trump supporters are that way due to some overgrown form of Oppositional-Defiant Disorder.
I certainly think it’s a part of it. As someone who knows some people I think have ODD, they’re easier to work on than true believers. You can find common ground in fuck this system talk, but guide that towards a better future instead.
Source: years of working with hearts and minds of people I care about. I identify with ODD. I probably could have been classified ODD at some point.
