Posts referencing some things happening or not happening in small towns are all over lemmy & mastodon, sometimes with a picture of some country singer (?) with a cowboy hat (but never with a name do I can’t just google what’s going on).
Apparently it has something to do with threatening violence?
Some dumbass made a country song with the usual horrifyingly cliched sort of lyrics, in this case lines such as
”Try that in a small town/ See how far ya make it down the road/ Around here, we take care of our own.”
“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.”
The problem is where the video was set, and contents (many modern protests). WP sums it up as
Accusations of racism prompted a country music channel to pull the video, which is set at the site of an infamous lynching and race riot. But Republicans are embracing Aldean.
I had no idea btw, if it helps I searched DDG for “small town country music” and then went to the News tab.
Be kind people.
There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.
