[@laylalovely3076]

Do you stand for lynching of blacks too ? Boycott Andean now.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

Exactly! And anyone who says it’s racist, they’re racist. Because they hear him describe crimes and immediately say “he’s talking about black people!” uh.. that just says what they think about them, not the singer. It’s a great song and a message we need more of today

[@joshualove1403]

@@Catherine.Dorian.that’s a very minimalist perception , some of the imagery were from Black led protests going against inner city police brutality and decades of racist violence and economic/political actions done to the primarily black communities in the cities . The issue is conflating political rioting and protest with generalized crime which is dishonest and dehumanizing to normal human response to abuse . Ppl say this song is about fuck around and find when I’m face those actions done were FAFO but for some reason reacting to your city who is harming is a crime but shooting someone you don’t feel comfortable with isn’t 🙃

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

@@joshualove1403 In todays world defending yourself from being attacked makes you the criminal and the attacker the victim. Plenty of examples and there’s a reason for it, crime destroys cities and when you want to remake a country you can’t do it when the country is strong, they’ll defy you. But if you break it down first you can then rebuild it from the ashes how you want to.

I am 57 years old and was sickened by all this crap that went down. Interesting to hear you, young man, describe what was happening at a local level. So peoples opinion changed when the violence started? Seems like those folks that were starting the shit were not even from the areas they were destroying.Glad to see your reaction, as a younger person, to such a good song. God bless America!

[@billbob4856]

Where I live (east coast) the people who started the crap were from out of town. I know plenty of younger people who were totally fine with it and still say they were “mostly peaceful” though. Sorry but just because YOU were peacefully protesting (100% fine in my book) doesn’t mean destruction and violence didn’t go down. Also, if you’re trying to claim your position was peaceful it’s even more on you to control your ranks… As for percentages of younger people who were cool with it? Of the people I know in their early to mid twenties the politics are pretty evenly split. Half of them say it was peaceful and the other half are correct.

[@hlaw2830]

I was born a week after Black Monday, grew up a hippy-ass liberal in Berkeley, first time I voted was in 2020, for Trump, because he said school choice, and the Democrats in California were trying to repeal the state Civil Rights Act... but, I suppose the flag I waved at protests as a child was yellow, and I'm still proud that Berkeley was the home of the Free Speech Movement... not sure I'd fit in anymore if I still lived there.

[@JudithRansom-t5c]

I live in WA state where we can open carry or carry concealed. The only place we had riots was in Seattle which is now mostly CA liberals. They tried in Spokane but they met a great deal of resistance. All the rioters were bused in. Just across the border in Coeur d’ Alene, ID they were all locked and loaded and waiting for the bus. They lined the main street. The rioters turned around and left, cause try that in a small town!

[@Zazu1776]

Seattle is worse than California as far as liberals, my husband was stationed in Tacoma, but stayed in Seattle for a couple weeks, he said he never met so many people who were such raging liberal , he asked to be transferred. He was from the east coast and every person he spoke to got offended by his accent alone, was told that they don't need his kind around here, you flucking kidding me? In full air force uniform and the people insulted him, instead of thanking him for defending their rights of freedom, again they insult him and made him feel even more proud to be a soldier, because he was able to say good day to them with a smile and laughing that Washington still praise Jane fonda and not the soldiers who went to war! So naaaa California should not be blamed.

[@blcvoe5262]

I remember that very well! I live 30 miles south of I90 on the way to Colfax. I have friends in Deer Park and Spokane and was ready to go help if it was needed.

[@bl4558]

But you allow Seattle to remain. Why don't you treat it like a 'small town' and go take care of those who live there and have to deal with the crap like they are "your own" from Spokane? Seattle is STILL infested... but you turn your back.

Well said young man! I am now a subscriber. After being jumped and robbed twice( the second time at gunpoint, car being stolen and home broken into I was done with city life. I moved to a small NC farming community 18 years ago and have never felt more safe. My neighbors of all races respect God, each other and our community. I have never met a more friendly kind and generous group of folks who help each other. Jason's song speaks the truth. People are tired of rampant violent crime and criminals not facing harsher consequences. The good ole boys around here wouldn't stand by and allow such violence. My first hunting season here I stopped at the country store early morning to see the parking lot full of cammo wearing hunters with lots of firepower.

[@SylvanusTheGreenMan]

I live in a rural Arizona town & worked in an outdoor sports/ranch supply store. I was lead firearm sales when the 'march' was scheduled to come up our street. We were literally visited by federal law enforcement and told "We have been contacted and told outright they plan to riot and loot here." You should have seen the rednecks that arrived in their pickups and literally pulled up in front of the three gun stores on this march route. In Arizona a conceal carry permit isn't required. Brandishing is not legal but we are a Castle law state which extends to our vehicle. Being ready to defend ourselves; property and others is covered (when done responsibly). I was literally parked in our lot near the police at the ready. Fortunately, the group along our route didn't riot. Had they done so they'd have faced citizens backing up police It would have been a much bigger mess (for them) than Kenosha.

I'm from a very small town out in the country, nothing but cornfields, and lots of trees but my children went to the school in the small town I live and a great school, small school k-8 No school shootings, no murders, no major drugs, people are a lot kinder and willing to help out Small Town and country folks are awesome So happy to be a country girl Hate the city, don't want to go to the big city if I don't have to Jason Aldean's new song is 👍🏻👍🏻 It's great

[@jwoyshnar]

Your reaction is so far my favorite with this song. Thanks for talking about how it's related to where you live

[@TheAngryCALibertarian]

I applaud your bravery young man. People in small town Idaho did the same when Seattle and Portland were burning with riots. Stood outside and waited to protect theirs.

[@debbiesmith4186]

Great reaction. Thanks for being real - you let us know who you are - which isn’t easy for someone as young as you. You are on a very good path. Do more reactions from your heart - that is what will draw an audience in…and go deeper into things you might not “get” we don’t always have to agree. Right now would be a great time to follow up with Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” - do what you like but let things surprise you. Because the response you will get for doing this video will surely surprise you …

THANK YOU!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. You, being another young person with morals and an understanding of what is really going on. Gives hope for our country. Bless you

There is an old country saying, “If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know the one you hit by its yelp!” That is exactly what happened when country singer Jason Aldean published his latest song, “Try That in a Small Town!” Pointing out the difference between urban and rural cultures, he unknowingly poked his finger in the eye of urban culture and elitism. The leftists immediately “yelped,” using the word they most often use for calling names, “racism,”(and of course, the song has nothing to indicate racism). Aldean stated the same concept as the greatest philosopher of the early 1800s, Thomas Jefferson, who said, “When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” He believed the great cities of Europe to be the corrupters of culture. Most news stories these days simply give evidence to support the idea that cities are the corruptive influence in this culture. Many are fleeing the rotting, rioting cities these days. One can only hope they are also fleeing the city’s values. If they bring those with them, they will only corrupt the rest of society. This is obvious in places like Oregon, which is primarily rural, but is controlled almost totally by one county.

It's not racism but its just as dumb and ignorant to believe big town, cities dont have community values. Every burrough in New York is made up of small communities from people all over the world and they say Hi to each other when they pass. They don't wonder if they are from out of town and dangerous. Cities move fast and they are ahead of the pack in ideas and culture. If you wanna stay the same for the rest of humanity then maybe you should dig a hole and stick your head or ass in cause times change and so far they have always progressed toward the better.

I really hope your video is seen far and wide. Most people haven’t heard this version of events in Kenosha, and I know I appreciated your input very much. I found it interesting that he was performing in Las Vegas when the October 1st shooting happened. I’m sure he is heavily affected by that experience, and wishing for the sense of community and country he grew up with.

[@TatoFam]

On top of everything that happened right down the road. I chose not to mention this. But Kyle Rittenhouse was a friend of a friend. That’s how close to home this was for me

[@victorialynnhickman]

@@TatoFam Kyle became a symbol of heroism. I watched that night and then the entire trial. I love that young man with all my heart. Thank you for your reaction to this song and sharing some insight to what was going on around the area at that time. I am subscribing to your channel now. 😊

It's nice to see some gen zs having some common sense and think on there own

Breanna Taylor's family will never recover from her murder by Cops, and the cover up that went on in Louisville!

So ,they destroyed it themselves

Great review and the Song is Wonderful! Awesome Song! Touched my heart !

[@seroogyw6238]

I live in Wisconsin also in a small town.. They would never try that stuff here.. Got a new follower 🙏🇺🇸❤️

[@summerfawnlightfeather6551]

This song is quickly becoming the second national anthem for all those who stand on the right side of normal

[@mztweety1374]

If “fuck around and find out” was a song

[@AnandaSea]

So many of us were awakened by that mess in Kenosha. We were standing behind you all from all over the world and every small town. My dad was so mad though as i grew up in a snall town. He saw the way education and forest management were not reflecting American values. We need to completely, once and for all, make our country great again, again!!!! And nevermore let it be compromised. 🎉❤🎉

[@TheAirheaded1]

Good man! And correct...0 Racism, just politely explained if you come to our town we use self-defense no matter what race you are! Cheers

[@harryhutcherson7177]

I moved to a small town in NE for my last two years of high school, the best two years of my schooling. That small down did more for me as an individual in two years then that city of 500k did the previous 10 grade levels. One day I was walking in front of the school and I noticed there were a lot of shotguns in vehicles that day. I went to the principle with my concerns and he set me straight, "Its the first day of goose season, folks are going hunting after school or work. Now quit worrying, you are safe here we know how to handle ourselves. Have a good day and maybe go hunting with your friends." I did and it was awesome. Thank God for small towns.

[@stevedeweysmith]

Try That In A Small Town for a Grammy !

[@christianwise4403]

I think some of this song is about how small towns we take care of our own town. If you need help we pitch in and help if it’s farmer layed up health wise etc his neighbors will help keep farm running etc.

[@aaron_knight]

Good review. I see a great song about good people standing together, whatever comes, it really resonates with me. The people against this song seem to be the same people against Sound of Freedom...why is that?

[@a__random__person]

i'm from a small town fairly close to kenosha too, literally watched it live when it went down with Kyle, and was proud to see there were people like him at least trying to protect the community from those who let anger and hate run their life. They found out real quick.

[@ricardoperez7211]

And I love country music actually all music that makes sense

[@sandiflinchum6925]

I grew up in a small town.. you just said " everyone was locked and loaded ready for what ever was coming" Isn't is amazing how all of those weapons and no one is ever killed, no schools are shot up and the crime is minimal.. my town was safe to live in and we left our doors unlocked and slept like babies..😂

[@sharoncooper5966]

I love your channel, old lady from Texas, I shared and asked my friends to stand up before it's too late.. keep up the good work, (less profanity would be better for over all sharablity) young people will listen to you so much faster than they will a boomer 😆❤🎉👏👏👏

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

I remember in my town there were a few rumors of riots near me. I had my shit loaded and ready to go. I've got a few more now and yeah I take care of my own.

[@alabamagirl2725]

Great song.

[@jaytee2642]

I never heard of you before today, and wasn't sure what to expect from a young'un like you. You have impressed me and given me some hope for our country. We need the younger generations to step and carry the torch.🇺🇸

The song stays in your head. I was literally humming the tune 🎶 all day. America 🇺🇸 1st ppl ❤ 7:00

[@kencross25]

I live in a small town in Alabama. Our population is comprised of Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian. We are all about family and protecting ourselves. Most of our population believes in the "Golden Rule" because we respect one another. The kind of place that your Sheriff Department staff is also your neighbors. And if someone decides to act like a delinquent **** the whole town will know, and someone is calling your Mama!

[@ExtremeOutsideLine]

Been waiting on this bubba

[@deborahparrish8180]

I live in a small town and we have been saying this from the beginning that all this mess started we are the same her we are all locked and loaded . And we are very close community and we look out for each other. Hes exactly right try that in a small town.

[@GypsyRain42]

Yep. Love this song!
