Offerman: people are very reluctant to see the patriarchy topple
I'm a big fan of his work and loved reading his take on this election.
“If she were not a woman, we would not be in this boat,” he said of the Democratic presidential nominee. "I think the election would be over already.
“And that’s another sad thing, that a large reason there’s so much anger and mistrust of her is because people are very reluctant to see the patriarchy topple,” the “Parks and Recreation” actor said.
“I am incredibly excited that the glass ceiling will be shattered. I mean, we’ve had our first black president and we’ll probably have our first woman president. But what an exciting accomplishment.”
Offerman also said Trump is not the solution to voters’ frustration with the political establishment.
“On one hand, I understand the dissatisfaction that has led to [Trump’s] selection,” as the GOP’s presidential nominee.
“But then, on the other hand, [there’s a] candidate that’s only, in my way of thinking, held such an unsavory job as a casino owner,” Offerman added of Trump. "Not only that, but a failed casino owner – a spectacularly failed one.
