The irony is that Ron was shown to be one of the government's most valuable assets, as his no-nonsense attitude to resource usage meant the P&R department's budget was properly controlled while the rest ballooned.

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

The show really was an idealization of how government worked: Despite the many diverse backgrounds of its workers, including people who hated the government, it all came together because the workers cared about something. Whether that be the civilians or each other, it was the caring that worked.

[@fadedjem]

​@@Delightfully_Witchy Very true. The show could so easily have been "Leslie Knope gradually fixes a group of broken people who don't care about government", but it never descends to this. The writers recognise that Leslie's dream government would be just as dystopian as Ron's.
