Why Country Star Jason Aldean’s Latest Song Has Liberals up in Arms
Country singer Jason Aldean released a new music video this week touting how small towns wouldn’t put up with the kind of riots and lawlessness many cities across the country faced during the summer of 2020.
With lyrics warning violent criminals, as well as those who disrespect law enforcement and the American flag to “try that in a small town,” Aldean sings, “Yeah, ya think you’re tough? Well, try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road. Around here, we take care of our own, you cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out, I recommend you don’t.”

Footage from smash and grab robberies and cities burning during the 2020 riots are shown in the background of the new music video for “Try That in a Small Town.” The song’s tough stance on crime and pro-Second Amendment messaging upset some liberals, who voiced their complaints on Twitter. . .
Uvalde? Small town.
VA Tech? Small college town.
Newtown? Small New England town.
Parkland? Small town that had just been voted Florida's *safest* town.Most mass shootings occur in *small towns* @Jason_Aldean. Your listeners are dying. https://t.co/NlUN8uBzZ2

Just 1 look at the lyrics & you see that beyond this being so insensitive to the small town folks dying from gun violence, it is also just a racist dog whistle
Invoking "urban" crimes that we better not do in "his" (sundown) "town."
This is for the "what about Chicago??" crowd pic.twitter.com/ekDfPRBI70

This is one of the most dangerous, irresponsible videos from a mainstream artist I have ever seen. @Jason_Aldean is openly radicalizing his fans into white nationalist vigilante violence.@BMG @BMG_US Everyone associated with greenlighting this should be ashamed. Your artist is… https://t.co/FgYT2DwVZV pic.twitter.com/YqkV1oBrpp
