Ron Swanson was NOT MAGA
Nick Offerman says "dumb people" think his "Parks and Recreation" character voted for Trump" and MAGA thinks the character “must be one of us” because he has a "shotgun."
"I don’t deign to answer myself I take it to Mike Schur, the main creator of Ron, and he said, ‘Swanson would’ve despised Trump, because Ron loved capitalism. And Trump made the stupidest move you could make as a capitalist, which is to go into public service.' [Ron] would think [Trump] is an absolute idiot. He would also despise him because he’s disrespectful to women and many others. And that’s just an example of all the people and value sets that Ron would despise, because Ron is a good person.”
