“Let’s admit this last year’s trip around the sun was another head scratcher, but let’s also remember that we are babies – as a country we are basically going through puberty in comparison to other countries’ timelines – and we’re going to get the growing pains,” he continued. “And we are going through growing pains, this is not an excuse to say, this is just a reality.”

Emphasizing the need for harmony, McConaughey went on, “We got to keep realizing that we’re a place where our individual perspectives and desires need to be appreciative and supportive of our collective responsibilities as Americans – hence the United States of America.”
He added, “We’re all in this together and if you don’t purchase that, move on, go somewhere else.”
It has recently been rumoured that McConaughey might be about to make his first political run.
