He hates and fears his ex-wives, both named Tammy, one of whom is played by Offerman's real-life wife, Megan Mullally. He loves meat, woodworking, hunting, Lagavulin whisky, breakfast foods, nautical literature, and sex. Ron, who has an extremely deadpan and stereotypical masculine personality, actively works to make government less effective and despises interacting with the public. In demeanor, political philosophy and work ethic, Knope and Swanson are polar opposites: where Knope is sunny and outgoing, decidedly liberal and constantly working, Swanson is distant, and as a staunch libertarian, is a strong advocate for small government-stating his belief that government should be privatized-and therefore believes that the parks department should not even exist.
