Nick Offerman may have played an authoritarian POTUS in Alex Garland’s Civil War, but the Parks & Recreation star is clearly no fan of the man running to be an authoritarian POTUS.
A fact that Offerman made crystal today about Donald Trump once again on YouTube with a new version of his “Proud to Be a Kamala Man” song.
Performed from the POV of a GOP voter who has had enough of Trump’s “cons and lies/ the rapes and rants,” the tune is a slicker mix of the song Offerman offered up on the virtual Comics for Kamala fundraiser earlier this month.
“I am very enthusiastic to be supporting the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz,” Offerman says in an intro to the song and its video of Trump’s greatest fails. “For obvious reasons, there are a lot of Republicans who are suddenly very Kamala curious,” the actor who played a MAGA man in Ava DuVernay‘s Origins last year adds. “There are all these organizations of Republicans for Kamala, and it’s very exciting.”
“Without further ado, let me offer you a song that’s from the point of view of one of these Republicans, one of these good citizens who formerly was a little bit, blinded by misinformation, who has now found their way to see clear to decency.”

The music of the self-described and tongue firmly cheek song may sound a lot like Trump fave Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA”, but the lyrics from Offerman and Mark Rivers are as anti-MAGA as you can get. With lines like ‘Cuz there’s no denyin’/Trump’s a f*cking d*ck” and “Kamala’s got momentum, and that lady she’s no quitter/Plus, she never hid nuclear secrets in the Mar-a-Lago shitter,” Offerman puts all his cards on the table – as you can hear above
Having picked up almost 26,000 views in the past 10 hours since the new and improved “Proud to Be a Kamala Man ends with a “Donate Today KamalaHarris.com” slate.
The fact that the Kamala song is still available online is a little odd.
Offerman’s original and more low-fi version was posted on YouTube back in first week of August after the $530,000 raising Comics for Kamala event. It was quickly pulled down due to a “copyright claim from Greenwood Legacy Music.”
In an election that has seen the former Celebrity Apprentice host’s campaign hit again and again by artists like Celine Dion and the Foo Fighters wanting the ex-POTUS not to use their music, the fact that ‘Proud to Be a Kamala Man” 2.0 has been taken down is surprising.
Deadline reached out to reps for Greenwood, who performed over all four nights of the RNC back in July. Nothing yet. However, if and when we do get a response this post will be updated.
And yes, using the description Democratic VP nominee Walz has popularised on the GOP ticket, there is a “weird” in there. Case in point: “And J.D. Vance looks like a baby’s butt underneath that creepy beard/So I’ll say it loud and I’ll sing it proud, those guys are f*cking weird.”
