Can I cast Political Trickery targeting my opponent's swamp and my Bloodstained Mire and then crack fetch in response, essentially stealing?

701.8a A spell or ability may instruct players to exchange something (for example, life totals or control of two permanents) as part of its resolution. When such a spell or ability resolves, if the entire exchange can’t be completed, no part of the exchange occurs.

Example: If a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but one of those creatures is destroyed before the spell resolves, the spell does nothing to the other creature.

So, no Brett, no exchange occurs.

Exchange control of target land you control and target land an opponent controls.

There's a reason why Shifting Borders has been more popular historically - as an instant, you can cast it after putting something like Oboro, Palace in the Clouds's ability on the stack.
