Explain This?

Via The Bear, Joss Whedon is supporting the Kedwards ticket.

Whedon is perhaps best known for creating "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but he also created "Firefly," a superb but short-lived spacegoing western set 500 years in the future.

This is where I get confused. The "Firefly" characters were rugged individualists, just trying to go about their business and escape the notice of the centralized big government bureaucracy.

Sounds like a perfect bunch of Republicans to me!
