“I don’t believe in government… a waste of taxpayer money”: Parks and Rec Made Ron Swanson Have an Ideology Nick Offerman Personally Hates

Nick Offerman’s Ron Swanson was certainly a highlight of Parks and Recreation. The character managed to break all stereotypes that were put on him, starting the series alone and opinionated and ending it with a family and still just as opinionated. Although his character does grow in more ways than one, he doesn’t ever lose his essence, simply turning from individualistic to a family man.

Offerman has been known for being extremely like his character. The actor enjoys woodwork and is more than a little similar to Ron when it comes to personality. However, there is one aspect where the two are of very differing opinions: politics.
