Transcript:
Scarecrow: Weeeee're off to see the wizard- Heart: Hold it, fellas...Change of plans...Heart: Look, I've decided I want to stay in Oz, but I think you guys should go back home in my place! Heart: Scarecrow! You don't have a brain! You're the perfect American consumer! I bet you're itchin'to buy an SUV right now! Madison Avenue is dying to meet you, kid! Heart: And you, Tinman! No heart! I foresee a great career in politics! Maybe even (dare I say it?) a tobacco lobbyist! Heart: And the cowardly lion...The perfect cubicle-dwelling-computer-geek-worker-drone. Easy to manipulate, low pay. But that all changes when you go online...in a sci-fi fantasy chat room, you become "Orlick, the dragon slayer"! It's easy to have courage when nobody sees your face! Heart: Earth is made for you guys! Well, s'long, I'm off to make a big splash in the Emerald City! Give Aunt Em my love! Mom: Ah, the magic of books...release from the cynical world, of only for a moment...

Now for the contemporary political version: the Scarecrow is a trump supporter, the Tinman is still a politician but specifically alt-right, and the Lion… could stay the same but should probably be racist, sexist, and/or some brand of -phobic when online.
