Ron wouldn’t have voted at all. Voting would mean accepting the government had control over his life.
I think Leslie probably would have convinced him to
He would’ve voted but continued to insist to Leslie that he didn’t because he wouldn’t want her to feel like she won.
My thought as well, which isn’t much better, tbh.
Ron Swanson, as much as he hated government, loved his friends more.
He would have fought literal tooth and nail to protect Tom from getting deported.
I’m mixed on whether he would have supported DOGE. There’s an entire episode where he’s on record of “slashing the budget with a machete” but in that same episode sacrificing his job to save Leslie.
he would have said “They’re expanding the government to slash the government - just slash the budget!”
Tom is from South Carolina. There was a whole plotline about him marrying a Canadian woman so she could get a green card.
Oh I wholeheartedly know.
But ICE has and continues to arrest citizens. Not sure if they have gone through with trying to deport them but Trump is on record saying that he wants to be able to deport “undesirable” citizens.
So yeah…Tom might be from South Carolina but he’s on the lower half of the Peter Griffin skin color chart.
Yeha I was just thinking that after I posted the comment.
There were a lot of people deported to El Salvdor without trial. So there is no way to know whether or not any of them were citizens.
knowing the people in power, i’d just assume they deported at least one obvious citizen just because they can, to know they’ve used their power
The rest of the cast often seems to forget that, so the plotline could still work
Yeah for sure… “We gotta stop Trump before he deports Tom!”
“Uhhh… I’m from South Carolina…”
he would like it in concept but suddenly not when musk leads it and especially not when it cuts the park system and upsets his friends
There’s an entire episode where he’s on record of “slashing the budget with a machete” but in that same episode sacrificing his job to save Leslie.
That pretty much captures the Republican ideal in a nutshell: Think that the world is simple and have no empathy for the other side, until it personally affects them and suddenly they are for gay rights, or trans rights, or unemployment, or Social Security, or whatever is being debated.
Swanson absolutely despised government interference. He would be fit to be tied.
Do a new episode where ICE, BP, and the Marines raid a park hosting a children’s event and a farmer’s market and show them who Ron really is.
