brainlessness

That allows them to write off objections over Trump's brainlessness and criminality with a "God works in mysterious ways" shrug.

Test Match Special commentator Daniel Norcross: "I have just seen some of the most careless brainlessness I have ever seen on a cricket field. You wait 30 overs to get your hands on the new ball and decide that what you are going to do with it is bang it in short. Numbers 10 and 11 are in and there's no slips in place!"

“There’s brutality here, but also brilliance — anemones, despite literal brainlessness, adeptly size up their rivals — and astonishing tenderness.”

For it to work, Trump is counting on the electorate displaying a level of brainlessness not seen since Dorothy happened upon the Scarecrow.

That simplicity, almost an intentional brainlessness at the Internet’s most fundamental level, is a key to its adaptability.
