I never knew how much of a progressive Nick Offerman was. I’m glad he’s sensible, has empathy and compassion, and truly cares for others. This was a great read and really makes me proud. I never got the vibe that Ron Swanson would have voted for Trump, because Ron was always a good man at heart.
I recently read about Samuel L Jackson thanks to Lemmy, and found out in his Rolling Stone interview he is also a progressive, hates Trump, and not only is great friends with but stuck up for Brie Larson for all the hate she got.
I don’t like following celebrities, but these are two good persons that can lead by example. We desperately need good role models.
He’s done some writing and speaking on his brand of progressive masculinity. A childhood friend got really into it in high school. He seems to be a pretty good guy by all accounts.
Thanks, that’s really good to hear as I only know his part in Parks and Rec and loved that show. Haven’t watched TLOU yet since I want to play the game first. Planning on playing it in fall this year.
TBF that’s the best order to do it in … the game is good but of it’s age a bit on the gameplay, but the series is something special and not hurt by playing the game (whereas the other way would be a let down IMO)
He wrote a book a while ago called ‘Paddle Your Own Canoe’, it’s where I learned he is really not like Ron Swanson at all, outside of the woodworking. It’s funny how many people think he believes the same things a character he played does.
He genuinely does seem like a very good person and role model.
I never watched Parks & Rec, only knew of Offerman from the memes. I was also surprised to learn he was progressive. On an unrelated note, his role in HBO’s The Last of Us was great!

You should watch his episode in The Last Of Us season 1, nobody not progressive would have taken that role and he knocked it out of the park.
One of the best single episodes of TV I’ve seen in my life.
