Flutterby™! : Campaign idiocy

It'd be really really nice if we could remove this "the magic space wizards are going to solve all of our problems and implement whatever policy we decide" relationship between technology and our political system. On all freakin' sides. Whether that's Hillary Clinton's

"There must be some way. I don't know enough about the technology, Martha, to be able to say what it is, but I have a lot of confidence in our tech experts."

or Donald Trump's

"We should be using our brilliant people, our most brilliant minds, to figure a way that ISIS cannot use the Internet,"

And this sort of idiocy isn't just limited to encryption and censorship.
