American tall tales pin could be fun, there could be a mode for each section of the country, like Road Show. I could also see a funny MAD-magazine-style mashup of parodies of past presidents, with modes for their exploits.

As for actual current-events politics, probably not, what's happening right now is terrifying enough without having to deal with it during my leisure time.

Quoted from Swainer80:

I think it could be fun if executed right. A game like Race to the White House or something like that. Have fun with an elections mode and work your way on up. Like a dig the dirt/sling mud on other candidates. Fundraising modes. Shake hands, kiss babies mode. Turn about modes. Just make it a nonpartisan game and have fun the political process itself. There should be plenty of jokes to make it a humorous game.

I was gonna joke that “nonpartisan” is basically impossible nowadays but I guess for most people who actually buy pins the only thing politics affects is their wallet so it might work. It would be cute to have a back glass toy with two racing opponents like a horse-race carnival game, and modes to gather voters in different parts of the country by ways of humorously shallow appeasement. Or done in an overtly parodic style, like Bally Game Show.
