When the fuck were conservatives like Ron? Ron was never a quasi-racist, fear mongering, rich asshole, who catered to hate groups, and facist Christian nationalist while pretending to be morally superior.
The closest the Republican party was to Ron was before the great switch.
He's basically what right-libertatians always pretend to be but never are: a smart and confident self-sufficient guy who just wants to be allowed to live the life of his choosing without bothering anyone.
You see, Parks and Rec is a fictional show where it's possible to be conservative without being abusive and completely heartless towards those that have to suffer for your childish notions of "absolute freedom, society be damned" 😉
Ron still has some real life conservative values
But all in all he's not so bad. As long had you ignore him he'll ignore you as well so you can both go about your lives most of the time.
Good points all. I admit that I've become a bit hazy on some of what happened on the show in the intervening years since my last rewatch, so thanks for completing the picture for me 😁
