I know there will be attempts to block him, and we all truly hope they are successful.

The signals he is sending are unmistakable, though. Or at the very least he is attempting to instill so much fear in the American people that it dampens our resistance. Like Thom Hartmann was pointing out this morning, a gargantuan part of the fascist program is fear--it depends in large part on us being too afraid to know how to respond.

But there is definitely a movement to oppose him shaping up too.

"No president has ever bungee-jumped from a Moscow high rise window"

"No president has gone skinny-dipping with crocodiles"

We have to play to his ego

That's what he's always said would happen.
Once it does, he will claim that he alone is the government and the dictatorship is locked in.
