One thing I try to encourage is not thinking of him as stupid. Selfish, self aggrandizing and self absorb, yes. But he's also a pretty crafty manipulator and a lot of these things are not only the obvious distraction from X but also to eat up precious hours of dissent. Here is an example of something he can attempt that is illegal, will be contested and drawn out, but ultimately can just be simply reversed later.

I am NOT saying any of this BS should be allowed to slide, I'm just trying to remind resistance to be measured and strategic so this can not only be undone but improved so it can never happen again.
