After this he made efforts to send Afghan volunteers to Ukraine.

Ryan also wrote a self-published book in which he left a message against Trump proposing an assassination to Iran.

He explicitly stated that he was in favor of “fight and die for Ukraine” – a popular quote was: “I am coming to Ukraine from Hawaii to fight for your kids and families and democracy…”.

He became an Independent in 2012 and voted in the Democratic primary (in North Carolina in 2024) in subsequent years, according to cbsnews.com.

Ryan made $1–$25 donations through ActBlue in 2019–20, totaling nearly $140.

He also supported progressives like Tulsi Gabbard and Bernie Sanders, and voted for Biden–Harris in 2024, inspired by the idea.
