Yes, this country is in trouble when a song about protecting your small town and a movie about saving children are being attacked from the left. The people criticizing it is the same people who praised looting and rioting and is silent about the sexualization of children.
The conservative media is trying desperately to keep this story alive. The problem is, it was never really a story to begin with. Aldean had the freedom to produce the song, and consumers have the right to like it or not.
i think he is promoting violence
I hope CMT got hammered for that bullsh*t.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 way to go Jason Aldean ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Stand strong and hold your head high ! CMT kiss our tails !
Armaud Arbery didn't make it very far down that road either before you blew his heart out.
CMT = Communist Music Television
Truth
God forbid that songwritiers should ever write another song. Amen.
This song is the true expressing of how people feel. Unlike the Bidens, this man gets this country! Hope he stays top of the charts as long as possible!
Never watching CMT, again.
Small minds are annoyed by the song.
I wouldn't take my child to it. But that's me.
Push back on the woke. Love this song, I'm from a small mining town where we support each other. We are Americans, God-fearing, God-loving-free people. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
we've got real problems in this country and people are upset with a freaking song !!! smh..
Godless people. Good job on his label for standing by him!
Society is only upside down for those who believe the liars and gaslighters in the media. For the rest of us we see things clearly and refuse to participate in or support the nonsense.
I've heard rap music way worse than this. And he did nothing wrong
I don't have kids or grandkids so I'm not gonna spend good dollars to see a movie about dolls.
I thought the last folks to want to ban this song would be the CMT. Well then start treating CMT like "Bud Lite" then they'll maybe change their tune. Way to go Jason, KEEP ON SINGING LIKE IT IS
Those were the days
Love this song and I do live in a small town.
Great song.
We all back Jason cmt’s lost 65 percent of their viewers their woke we will make them go broke it’s a promise from patriots
Can’t refute the news coverage of all the rioting that was illegal. If that offends you, go get a latte.
I don’t normally like country music and I have to say I really like this song because it just shows that people want to have a happy healthy life for their children in the USA and violence is just not OK
I’m just confused how it’s a racist song when it showed antifa and antifa was mostly white males
CMT murdered themselves!! Bravo
I agree with Jason. I grew up in a small country town,, and nome this crap would fly there.
Being against crime and violence is racist.
New York is giving 13 million dollars to people who looted and looted their city! The same people indict the former president on made up and exaggerated charges! This stinks!
Proud to say I posted this song to FB as soon as Jason posted it on YouTube, and before it was Kool!
The video was better that the state run news was showing us.
It’s not our society you guys just padder to like 2% of the population
Listening to it on repeat, when I drive throughout my small town!
I won't live in anything but a small town, for the very reason the song depicts…..I have one word for city crawlers……Darwin.
The Country Music world gets what is going on in this country..
Love this song. Makes me miss my small town 😢. I lived in one of the most segregated cities in the world. Chicago. Moved to a small town it was awesome. 😂 I am a middle aged black woman… This song is awesome
I like Aldean. I dont like lauren chen. Gross.
Thanks
Ever notice its only the left who always bring up racism? Call an ace an ace..the left are all racists.
Aldean ain’t traditional country. He’s a baby.
Well I guess we have to destroy every inch of ground on the planet where something bad happened.
That school of thought is pretentious, banal and obtuse.
It's just another way to try to co-opt control.
The song is against domestic terrorism, that's all it's about.
I guess the left and the activists
don't like it when a mirror is
held up to their faces.
Boycott CMT
