Jason Aldean's song "Try That in a Small Town" has stirred up some significant reactions from both the city-dwelling liberals who detest it's critique of left-wing cultural degradation and those with common sense.
The mainstream media has been freaking out, with CMT (Country Music Television) pulling the song's music video. Outlets have been labeling it as a racist redneck video and critics interpret the song as glorifying violence and promoting lynching. Which makes no sense, as vileTexan on Twitter commented: "I guess a bunch of people that don't live in the country, and that don't listen to country, are mad at people in the country, for listening to country."
Matt Walsh was quick to point out the obvious selective outrage from the woke mob. Rap music's violent, criminal and narcotic themes are almost always overlooked by the woke mob while country music faces scrutiny when it can win them political punching bag points.
The song has quickly shot up to number one on the iTunes charts, garnering praise from many including Winston Marshall, formerly of Mumford & Sons, who is known for supporting independent journalist Andy Ngo's Antifa reporting.
Jason Aldean himself vehemently denies any racist or violent undertones in the song, stating that it reflects the sense of community he experienced while growing up. To read the lyrics and call them "pro-lynching" is to be intellectually dishonest. The term "citysplaining" can be used here to describe a phenomenon where people from urban areas impose their liberal viewpoints on rural communities without fully understanding their way of life. Aldean's haters, who are almost always "city people," unfairly judge and misinterpret the song's intended message, while turning a blind eye to the overhwhelming amount of negativity and toxicity promoted in the mainstream music industry.
This entire debacle further shows the increasing disconnect coastal liberal elites have with the country. Maybe they should learn a little bit about the country, country music, and country folk before they go around slamming and cancelling a song about defending the safety of small towns and their values against the urban sprawl of crime and sin.
