      Whatever you do, don’t look up Nick Offerman and his politics - I’d hate for that little fantasy safe space in your head to be squeezed out by reality.

        So he’s a liberal who supports establishment Democrats? Considering how you worded it, I expected something more scandalous and less … boring

          Wait - you mean to tell me that Parks and Recreation isn’t real? That I was talking about the actor?

          This is a noodle scratcher.

      Agreed, it’s off-brand, the character believes in trickle-down.

        He’s a libertarian, not a republican. I don’t think they support trickle-down policies per se.

          Pure libertarians do not support the existence of a body with the kind of authority required to implement that sort of economic bullshittery.

          It’s important to remember that the horrid thing that Americans generally know as libertarianism was simply the right wing of their political system co-opting the NAME alone in the mid 20th century. It’s not at all representative of actual libertarianism from any stream.

            Trickle-down is when you don’t do something (tax the rich) so you don’t need any organization to carry it out.

            Libertarians want to eliminate the IRS, which means leaving billionaires to hoard more wealth without giving back.
