    Now all I can imagine is a Simpsons character named Political Perry who struggles to live in a society not interested in politics as much as a second year college student.

    Wife left with the kids, doesn’t get invited to social events, nothing in life going right for him, but he doesn’t understand why.

    “Oh, shit. It’s Political Perry. Once asked the guy if he wanted ketchup and was ranted to about the corporate exploitation of the agricultural sector for half an hour. No one look.”

      That sounds exactly like something the Simpsons would do. Either that, or it would be Lisa it happens to.

        Yeah, I imagined someone like Gill, but aggressively political instead of constantly shattered by luck. Instead of getting sympathy from the audience, they get facepalms and, “Oh my god, I have this guy at work…”
