  Read his books, but only if you’re a lefty. I showed my boomer parents and they hated it.

    Which books ?

      I’ve listened to Paddle Your Own Canoe on audiobook (he narrates). Dunno about the rest, but I’d agree based on that one. He makes it clear pretty quickly that Ron Swanson was just a character and his views are different and more nuanced.

        The only similarities between Nick Offerman and Ron Swanson are his giggle and his faithfulness to his friends.

  I know he’s liberal in real life, but the way he plays Ron in parks and rec is how I wish conservatives actually were in real life.

    He’s not a “conservative” in Parks and Rec, he’s an actual libertarian.

  When did “a Chad” become a positive term? From my experince growing up it was a mid-west term for rich city kids, and then later on the internet it became a red piller/incel term for “Alpha male”.

  Is this one of those “taking it back” and owning it things to take power away from red pullers & incels?

    I think it’s just more ironic than “taking it back”. I don’t think anyone worth respecting would call themselves “a Chad”.

    So in context for this, a dude doubling down on his gay love story is certainly not what an incel would attribute to “a Chad”, but the rest of us could look at Nick Offerman and say “damn, I respect the hell out of that guy, what a Chad”.

    The definition and history for the word.

    In my extended friend group we use Chad as a comedyish thing to call someone when they do something cool/good or perceived as cool/good but we mean it. While someone calling themselves a Chad in a non self deprecating way is usually a dbag.

  Nick Offerman is better than any any “Chad”. He’s an Offerman. The Chad’s wish they could be as dope as him.
