Ron Swanson is a fictional character, doofus, and a caricature at that
It's like conservatives admiring Colbert from The Colbert Report.
Or Trump
No, Trump is definitely not just pretending to be fascist.
He pretended to be a mainstream 'Conservative.'
No, not really. He ran on being an "outsider" who wanted to "drain the swamp," remember?
McCain and Palin were both elected officials. Both called themselves 'mavericks.' Heck, Bush Jr. was the son of the Commander-In-Chief / CIA leader and he played off that he was just a simple cowboy.
It's a genuinely funny caricature, though. He's also a really good dude that loves and cares for people.
Dunn and done.
Yes... The fictional character is the poster child... That's why I like the character Ron, not necessarily Nick. Doofus, lol
