Plenty of celebrities have rallied against Donald Trump this election season, calling out the Republican presidential candidateā€™s racism, misogyny and lies.

The latest to speak up about Trumpā€™s campaign is Nick Offerman, who recently spoke to Esquire magazine about the current state of American politics.

ā€œYou know,ā€ he said, ā€œwe have nobody to blame but ourselves for this election, and I think itā€™s just fascinating. I mean, Iā€™m not a great political brain, but I definitely have a pretty simple take on politics that involves common decency.ā€

In terms of voting, the actor said, ā€œItā€™s usually easy for me to vote because one party usually offends me by being indecent.ā€ And if we had to take a wild guess at who might be the most offensive candidate this election, we think itā€™s safe to say Trump, who regularly incites violence and once called for a ā€œcomplete shutdownā€ of Muslims entering the United States.

ā€œIā€™m always amazed in elections when the only flaws that can be pointed out about a candidate are that they have been a politician. You know ā€• ā€˜Well they said this in ā€˜93, and then they said this other thing in 2005.ā€™ Yes, thatā€™s called politics,ā€ Offerman added, before alluding to Trump as being a candidate thatā€™s ā€œheld such an unsavory job as casino owner. Not only that, but a failed casino.ā€

Come November, the actor is definitely with her.

ā€œI think unfortunately, for the democratic process, thereā€™s no logical or sane or moral choice to be made other than voting for Hillary Clinton,ā€ he said, pointing out that ā€œif she were not a woman, we would not be in this boat.ā€

ā€œI am incredibly excited that the glass ceiling will be shattered,ā€ he said. ā€œWeā€™ve had our first black president and weā€™ll probably have our first woman president. And of course weā€™re going to go kicking and screaming as a nation into that, we would have it no other way. At the end of the day, weā€™re all a bunch of big babies. But what an exciting accomplishment.ā€

Editorā€™s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ā€” 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ā€” from entering the U.S.
