This bullshit about rednecks supporting cops is recent. Where did it come from? Rednecks used to hate cops.

Ever watch The Dukes of Hazzard? That was the normal view of cops from rednecks, not an outlier.

Rednecks vote Republican, and the right is defined exclusively by being the opposite of what they think the left is.

If the left doesn't like cops, then they need to LOVE cops

Taking care of your neighbors regardless of your differences is the opposite of what the song says. Unless by "taking care of" he means shooting.

Exactly. The song is very clearly a threat and basically saying "F around and find out." That's why the fans love it.

Makes you wonder what kind of "normalcy" he wants to go back to.

Nah. I know exactly what kind of normalcy he wants.

thats screwed up, should have checked the history better. But honestly, Jason Aldean was never really good, I think Ive only heard one song by him I liked?

sadly most modern country is small town and getting drunk songs, I grew up on George jones and Garth brooks

The cynic in me thinks he probably did. Feels like one of of those "suth'n country boy" pieces of trivia they're proud of knowing.

Given the song's lyrics and theme, there's something in me that just said that was such a goddamn flagrant and deliberate choice.

Aldean's post is basically, "I didn't say the N word, so how can you call my song racist?"

He says the song is about community, but community is the last thing on his mind. The whole point of the song is to other folks he doesn't like and associate them with crime because they aren't what he views as "small town."

His town is so small that I doubt there's any room for non-whites, LGBTQ people, non-Christians, or non-republicans in it. When I think of normalcy, I think of back when a kid's biggest concern in school was fitting in or making good grades as opposed to being shot to death... when Aldean thinks of normalcy, he's thinking pre-Civil Rights Act.

It's like Trump and the America First slogan. He may be ignorant about a lot of things, but he knows his Klan history VERY well. It was chosen deliberately as a signal to people who look back fondly of seeing Klan members holding signs with that slogan.

So goddamn disingenuous. If he wanted to capture the "small town feel" he "grew up in" why didn't he film the video in his hometown instead of in front of a lynching site?

Hey Gen Xers can be just as a racist.

Yeah, politically speaking their views don't seem to differ much from their Boomer parents.

I remember some time ago I looked up a Pew Research article that explained where Gen Zers stand politically, part of which broke down support for Trump based off generation, and Boomer to Gen Z had the least amount of difference at 4%.

From older Gen Xers I know, as a personal anecdote, they seem to often revere their parents in a sort of infallible or excuse away their faults with "just how their generation/timers was/were" wave of the hand.

  2. No you didn't.

I mean it's obviously because rednecks now have the internet.

1990: Billy Bob has never seen a black man step foot into his trailer park and is largely unaware of anything outside of his town. Constantly harassed by cops so he hates them.

2020: Billy Bob finally got the internet and has learned that a group of people he hates more than cops hate the cops. The enemy of his enemy is his friend.
