    Ron Swanson is a fictional character, doofus, and a caricature at that

    Offerman said in 2017, “While I admire the philosophy of the libertarian mindset, I think it’s proven to be ineffectual in actual governance. So no, I’m not. I’m a free-thinking American.”

      It’s like conservatives admiring Colbert from The Colbert Report.

          No, Trump is definitely not just pretending to be fascist.

              No, not really. He ran on being an “outsider” who wanted to “drain the swamp,” remember?

                McCain and Palin were both elected officials. Both called themselves ‘mavericks.’ Heck, Bush Jr. was the son of the Commander-In-Chief / CIA leader and he played off that he was just a simple cowboy.

      It’s a genuinely funny caricature, though. He’s also a really good dude that loves and cares for people.

      Yes… The fictional character is the poster child… That’s why I like the character Ron, not necessarily Nick. Doofus, lol
