"But you see, this guy wears a quirky costume! Finally a non-politician politician! This is so random, haha, guys, he's just like a regular funny guy finally! It's a funny caricature of the state of the world right now. You know, politicians bad! They don't care about us, they ignore this state of society gesturing around, but this guy is different, haha, look, he literally got a bin on his face, lol, this is really sticking it up to the man. This is no longer just boring old boomer politics, this is like fun millennial politics, you know, he's like a meme, haha, you guys gotta see this, look."
