Jason Aldean’s song is about citizens physically resisting the left's organized violence and dysfunction.

On Monday, Country Music Television (CMT) confirmed it stopped airing Jason Aldean's newly released music video for his song "Try That in a Small Town." According to CMT and virtually every corporate media outlet, Aldean's song is wildly racist and "pro-lynching."

This is a curious accusation, given that the song makes no reference to race at all. Instead, it’s a rebuke of the left’s 2020 summer of rage that, ironically, torched and looted countless black neighborhoods and businesses. It is also a condemnation of "defund the police" activists and Soros-installed DAs who refuse to prosecute violent criminals in lawless blue cities...

For the new woke world order to exist, the left needs the citizenry, and particularly men, to be neutered (hence why they label masculinity "toxic")...

Make no mistake, the "racism" accusations are a false flag. If the left cared about songs lionizing the deaths of black people, they would be protesting the music labels and radio stations that profit from rap and drill music - genres that brag about the real-life murders of black youths...

The Left Despises Rural America

A song that praises the liberties enjoyed by small towns with strong communal ties is deeply troublesome to the left. They prefer the citizenry be disconnected, feeble (both physically and mentally), and obedient...

'Most Contemptible Song Of The Decade': Country Music TV Bans Jason Aldean's "Try That In A Small Town" Video, ZeroHedge, 20 July 2023:

The entertainment industry's liberal elites are mad at country music star Jason Aldean...

CMT, or Country Music Television, is no longer airing the music video for Jason Aldean's "Try That In A Small Town," even as the song reaches No. 1 on iTunes charts.

The music video, which features Aldean singing in front of a government building with an American flag, incorporates footage from various protests - including those associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter - was released Friday...

The media reaction was, well, unhinged...

Variety's Chris Willman exclaims, in a story titled: "Jason Aldean Already Had the Most Contemptible Country Song of the Decade. The Video Is Worse", "Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” is close to being the most cynical song ever written..."

... the top comment on the song's YouTube video states:

"Interesting how countless rap songs encourage murder sprees, drug dealing, pimping, and countless other crimes, and they're celebrated by the media, but a video by a country singer about self defense and neighbors looking out for each other is banned,"...

Country Star Challenges America’s Culture of Crime - And pro-crime "progressives" explode in rage, by Mark Tapson, FrontPage Magazine, 21 July 2023:

For decades, gangsta rappers have raked in money, fame, and recording industry awards hand-over-fist by promoting a culture of violence, drugs, crime, misogyny, hedonism, and greed. There has been not a peep of an objection from the Progressive Left to the damage this has done and continues to do to generations of young people, especially in poor inner-city communities, where rappers, gang members, and drug dealers are idolized and emulated by far too many. But let one country music star complain that American cities have degenerated into a wasteland of lawlessness and chaos, and triggered leftists leap to smear him publicly as a violent racist...

A return to some semblance of normality in America sounds like a slice of heaven, but unfortunately, that ship has sailed. The Left considers the yearning for normalcy and social stability to be white nationalist nostalgia for a time before BLM conquered corporate America, before Critical Race Theory metastasized throughout our schools, and before national anthem kneeling protests ruined our national pastimes. The Left doesn’t want a return to normalcy. It wants normalcy in every facet of American life to be disrupted, if not eradicated, to pave the way for revolution, for the “fundamental transformation” of a country they hate into a Progressive utopia...
