The character of Ron Swanson was the definition of an American libertarian. He is against social programs for both rich and poor but especially giving tax breaks to corporations. He would hate MAGA for the same reasons MAGA thinks they hate other people. He also hates war more than you realize.

That reminds me of a pundit assuming Michael Douglas’s character from Falling Down to be a probable Trump Voter. They evidently forgot about the scene where Douglas had to deal with a neo Nazi.

Have these people never watched Parks and Rec? Swanson would despise Trump and GOP, specifically the bullshit lies on being the party of small government. This would be his face reading every headline that we're forced to suffer with:

Ron Swanson was the best man at a gay friend's wedding all because they bonded over their mutual hatred of Europe and Bicycles. Your average Republican would call that woke.

Ron even said the 1 good government department is the parks services. Trump famously hates nature.

I think even Archie Bunker would’ve eventually abandoned Trump as even he learned to respect people of color, even if he assumed ridiculous things about them.

The president telling Coca Cola how to handle their business does not sound like free market and small government. Of course Ron would hate Trump.

A perfectly adequate assessment. Though frankly, *all* nailing is impressive given the lack of thumbs here in the Burble. Send more iron. And possibly gloves.

I can see Leslie getting excited about the president visiting, Ron saying something like "If I wanted to meet a bunch of pedophiles, I'd go to the local prison" And Leslie clarifying it's the President of a locally famous gardening club to present fresh ideas for plantscaping

A lot of republicans call themselves “libertarian” when they’re furthest from it. These people never understood what it meant.

An actual radical libertarian would despise Donald Trump because Donald Trump is trying to have the state take over everybody's lives.

Andrew Hoke @generalmonkey.bsky.social

I think he might be underestimating conservatives' love of rolling in the mud of hypocrisy. "...but Trump is antithetical to everything you want in government." "No he isn't." (delivered with a straight face, but inwardly laughing at the ensuing flabbergast) Maybe Ron's too authentic for that.

I like the idea that Ron would have no respect for Trump because he got into government, but the fact is Ron is a good person and Trump is pure evil. Ron would call him a clown and have nothing to do with Trump.
