Song is misunderstood and criticized unfairly

I have read articles that chastise Jason Aldean's song "Try That In A Small Town" and refer to it as a rally cry for extreme right-wing MAGA supporters. Before giving my opinion, I do lean right but no longer am a Trump supporter. I hope both Biden and Trump are not on the 2024 ticket.

My take on Aldean's song is most Americans, the silent majority, are sick and tired of seeing what is happening in the big cities of America. Aldean's song is his way of saying enough is enough. There are more needles on the streets of LA and San Francisco than flowers. It's deplorable watching looters ransack stores. It's horrifying watching younger hoodlums assault older people. It's pathetic watching homeless defecate on the streets.

And what are these big city leaders doing to stop this from happening? In a small town (and a small town does not mean only white residents, which the writers imply) he is saying this would not happen. I agree with Aldean and think the opinions of these liberal columnists do more to divide America than Aldean's song. They are stirring the pot.
