Heather Cox Richardson comments on how Republicans exploit the cowboy myth to attack the notion of strong federal governance. As she says,
"The cowboy myth originated during the Reconstruction era as a response to the idea that a government that defended Black rights was 'socialist' and that the tax dollars required to pay bureaucrats and army officers would break hardworking white men."

So, white people working harder at creating and perpetuating a myth about themselves than actually working hard?
Umm yeah, par for the #gop#republicans
