Nick Offerman's new thriller, "Sovereign," delves into the anti-government sovereign citizen movement, starring Offerman as a father alongside Jacob Tremblay and Dennis Quaid.
Offerman hopes the film finds an audience that “celebrate” it in the UK, suggesting it might be "too smart for the American audience" and better suited to a "more European sensibility."
He connected the film's themes to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, pondering the motivations behind extreme choices made by some working-class Americans.
Offerman discussed his gratitude for having friends and family who are staunch supporters of Donald Trump, despite their differing views and accusations of him being "brainwashed."
He criticised super-right-wing voters for misinterpreting his "Parks and Recreation" character, Ron Swanson, as a socially conservative gun enthusiast, attributing it to their "bad reading comprehension."
