The origins of the cowboy tradition come from Spain, beginning with the hacienda system of medieval Spain. This style of cattle ranching spread throughout much of the Iberian peninsula, and later was imported to the Americas. Both regions possessed a dry climate with sparse grass, thus large herds of cattle required vast amounts of land to obtain sufficient forage. The need to cover distances greater than a person on foot could manage gave rise to the development of the horseback-mounted vaquero.
The timing of the cattle industry's growth meant that cowboy imagery grew to have extraordinary power. Entangled in the vicious politics of the postwar years, Democrats, especially those in the old Confederacy, imagined the West as a land untouched by Republican politicians they hated.

Cowboys embodied virtues Democrats believed Republicans were destroying by creating a behemoth government catering to lazy ex-slaves.

Likewise, cowboys in movies were often shown fighting with American Indians. Most armed conflicts occurred between Native people and cavalry units of the U.S. Army. Relations between cowboys and Native Americans were varied but were generally unfriendly.[56][77]
...
The advent of professional rodeos allowed cowboys, like many athletes, to earn a living by performing their skills before an audience.

Bruh any American soldier that sets foot on Greenland is fair game. If they're loyal to Trump, we don't want them coming home
European here. Go try to take it. We will not stay a little behind on the frontline
A Brit here with family in the military stationed in Iceland AND Greenland; trust me, my kids will not hold back in the defense of Greenland.
Many will die in vain, believing they can stop it. They won’t. How many lives will nato spend trying to is the question.
Literally the same **** as russia invading Ukraine
Literally
I wake up every morning thankful that the Ukraine war is continuing. It would be nice to have another demographically useful war to be thankful for, especially with Palestinian loss of life alone more than offsetting Russian+Ukrainian losses. (Furthermore, if war over Taiwan begins, we could have war over Greenland and still be losing demographically!)
