I'm always amazed at how some people want to rewrite history, especially very recent history.
Here are the song's lyrics to see for yourself if there is anything in it that's not true.
Try That In A Small Town
Song by Jason Aldean
Lyrics
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Song by Jason Aldean
Lyrics
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
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
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
Try that in a small town
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
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
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
Try that in a small town
Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
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
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
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

So now, since I've been asked, allow me to tell you why I think there's a controversy over this video.
I truly believe Democrats hate the truth. From the corruption of the 2020 election with ballot harvesting and dishonest mules dumping thousands of ballots into the mail system, to the revelations later of what really took place on January 6th, 2021, during the Capitol riot, Democrats spin things to try to get us to accept what they want us to believe.
As for the riots in 2020, many of us who live in small towns believe that what took place in large urban areas across the nation in 2020 wouldn't have happened in small towns. The reason is simple. Americans who live in small towns feel a kinship with their neighbors and business owners. We have a greater affection for where we live than city people do. And really, whether the Democrat-controlled Mainstream Media and Leftist politicians want to acknowledge it or not, it's just true. Whether it's the increase in violent crime or what's taking place with the gay/trans agenda being pushed in local schools, small-town Americans work to stop such things.
The reason for the difference between city people and small-town Americans has to do with how we feel about our towns versus how city people do about their cities. We are more invested in the general welfare of our communities. We have a sense of community. Cities are generally made up of people with apathetic attitudes.
It's been my experience that city people simply don't care as much about their cities and rely too heavily on their city governments to protect them. In contrast, small-town Americans are a lot more protective of their towns. Most of us own guns and support our law enforcement professionals. Most of us know that limited law enforcement means we have to provide our own security.
While Jason Aldean's video shows News footage of members of BLM and ANTIFA looting and burning down their own cities, he rightfully points out what most Conservatives thought of things at the time:
Try that in a small town and it wouldn't happen. People will say "No, not here. Not in 'my' town."
Jason Aldean's video accurately depicts what took place in the cities. His opinion, as is the opinion of many Americans including me, is that it wouldn't happen in a small town because Americans in small towns wouldn't allow it. And frankly, he's right.
Of course, that goes to the issue of the Left wanting to either "forget" what happened or rewrite history to justify what BLM and ANTIFA did to those cities, those homes and businesses, and the people they beat up. The Left says that what took place was a matter of "free speech" and "peaceful protest." Forget what we saw with our own eyes. The Left says we didn't see what we all saw.
We all know better and most of us agree with Jason Aldean. That in itself irks the Left to no end because Americans have simply stopped buying into the lies that the Democrat-controlled Mainstream Media is still selling.
Another part of the controversy pertaining to his video is that the Left says it is explicitly pro-gun, pro-police, and pro-small town. Okay, so it is. Jason Aldean is an American and has the right to his opinion. But what's more important than simply having a right to his own opinion is the fact that Jason Aldean is an American who supports our Constitutional Rights -- including free speech and the right to bear arms. He is fully aware that small-town Americans are not afraid of protecting themselves. And while he also supports law enforcement, he knows the majority of small-town Americans do the same. This
These things all anger Liberals because they are anti-gun, anti-police, and anti-rural America. Whether people like it or not, the truth is that Democrats have waged a war on our Constitutional gun rights. Democrats are against Americans defending themselves.
As for their hatred for Law enforcement, Democrats have shown themselves to be extremely anti-police to the point of supporting those who have attacked police stations and worked to defund the police. In some cities, Democrats have voted to get rid of their police departments altogether -- as well as not charging criminals with crimes. Of course, these acts are no different than cutting off their nose despite their face since it has resulted in huge increases in violent crimes and businesses have to shut their doors in Democrat-run cities.
Democrats in charge of those large cities allowed their cities to be looted, burned down, and their people to be assaulted. They refused to call in the National Guard. And let's not forget that the Democrats' surrogates in the Mainstream Media covered for them and their failure to stop the chaos by reporting that the cities were experiencing "mostly peaceful protest" as they burned down. That was exactly the way it took place while businesses were aflame in the background of those reporters.
Democrats allowed the looting and arson to take place because it was their voting base that was doing the looting, committing arson, and putting people in hospitals. So no, it's no wonder that a video depicting what they did -- and simply saying that small-town Americans would never have put up with that -- angers Democrats and the Mainstream Media.
Here's a shock for you. People on the Left are calling Jason Aldean's video and song, "Racist." In a time and place when EVERYTHING from the air we breathe to the sky being blue is considered "Racist," a time when EVERYTHING that the Left doesn't like is now called "Racist," where's the surprise that this video would be labeled such. Frankly, that line of crap has gotten old and no one is buying it. The Left has called EVERYTHING "Racist" to the point that no one gives a damn anymore.

And as for those who say this video increases the "cultural divide" in our country? The people on the Left saying such a thing need to look in a mirror to see who is truly responsible for the division that has taken place in our nation today. Democrats have tried to divide our nation by race, pitting Blacks against Whites, including trying to bring back Segregation in schools and more. As for the Left's hatred for Christians, that assault from Democrats is non-stop.
As for more division? Let's not forget that Democrats are trying to take away the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit. That's because Democrats feel that children belong to the government and not their parents. Yes, that's as Communist as you can get. And yes, that too isn't going over very well in small towns.
So for me, I'm glad that Jason Aldean took to Twitter to explain that he was praising small-town communities and didn't find the need to apologize for his video. The Left hates the truth. And Jason Aldean's video is very honest. So no, there's no surprise that Democrats hate it.
