As we bob helplessly in the swirling cesspool of political BS and chicanery, there's a ray of hope for those of us wishing for better! I call your attention to this article from last August 19th: Nearly Complete Human Brain Grown in US Lab.
Yes, Dear Readers, according to the article, a professor at a laboratory at Ohio State University has grown a brain equal in maturity to that of a five-week-old fetus, which would make it the intellectual equal of many current members of Congress, supporters of Donald Trump*, and the Tinfoil Hat Brigades. If the experiment continues and results in a fully-developed brain, we may be able to dispense with the expense and the scripted ass-clownery of elections by simply growing the brains we need, or replacing the ones that have gotten lost ...

Sweet! But will it be used?
Now even the Scarecrow can have one!
That's all kind of creepy, and I'm assuming you will be replacing brains on both sides of the aisle?
Now we can have a backup brain ready on the shelf. Don't forget to back up frequently. And the backup brain can re-enforce our preexisting opinions. "Hey backup brain, am I right?" "Of course you are!"
It's a shame to waste a brain.
