Wait until liberals will be shining lasers at us, and we will obediently fill in the little bubble on the ballots next to Hillary's name.

[Using the lasers to stimulate specific brain cells, researchers say they were able to make the flies jump, walk, flap their wings and fly.]
[Gero Miesenbock, associate professor of cell biology at Yale, said if the process could be duplicated on mice, researchers might be able to better understand the cellular activity that leads to certain behavior.]
That's a pretty big "if".
Flies are not mice.
