"The American people seem to be realizing that the rhetoric of cowboy individualism is a very different thing than its reality. Trump’s poll numbers are dropping sharply. A Reuters poll found that just 37% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, which was supposed to be his strong suit."

"He needs nothing from the government, works hard to support himself, protects his wife and children, and asserts his will by dominating others. Government is his enemy, according to the myth, because it takes his money to help undeserving freeloaders and because it regulates how he can run his business. A society dominated by a cowboy individual is a strong one."

"Trump was the logical outcome of the myth of cowboy individualism embraced by the Republicans since President Ronald Reagan rose to the White House by celebrating it. In that myth, a true American is a man who operates on his own, outside the community."

Photos from a histoeically themed photoshoot about Irish immigrants moving west in the mid 19th century. Before anyone mentions it. I know buscaderos are not historically accurate, but I'm a poor photographer and use what props and costumes I can get.

Today in Labor History March 31, 1883: Cowboys in the Texas panhandle began a 2-and-a-half-month strike for higher wages. Investment firms from the East Coast and Europe were taking over the land and cutting benefits that cowboys had accustomed to, like keeping some horses for themselves and holding some of the land for their own small farming. New ranch owners were more interested in expanding holdings and increasing profits, forcing their hands to work entirely for wages, and maintaining all livestock entirely for the profit of the owners.
Media from as far away as Colorado accused the cowboys of being incendiaries, threatening to burn down the ranches, attacking ranchers, and indiscriminately killing cattle.

Hey there! Did you know that most social interactions among lizards 
are between breeding individuals? It's pretty fascinating stuff! Territorial behavior is quite common, especially in species that use sit-and-wait hunting 
strategies. Males typically set up and defend territories that attract females with key resources like basking spots 
, feeding areas 
, and nesting sites 
while also offering protection from predators.
So, what's your favorite lizard? If you're not a fan of these scaly creatures, I'd love to know why! Personally, I find blue-tongued skinks super cool. And let's not forget about the mighty Komodo Dragons 
, they're just incredible!

'Cowboy' im #Westend von #Dortmund gibt es eine Brunnenskulptur eines Jungen der Wasser speit. Leider habe ich sie noch nie in Betrieb gesehen. Hier haben ihm Anwohner einen Hut spendiert.
