USA 2024 Elections Thread

[grarpamp]

Democrats Leftists Progs and their Media say this song is controversial, lol.

As far as literal music goes, the lyrics and imagery are nothing
compared to what's
out there. But what really pisses them off is when even the smallest
bit of truth and
good and Freedom goes mass public like this one does, that's when they move to
CensorBan Freedom. And they've been doing it bit by bit since 1776.

The Left doesn't want you to see images, video, and proof of them destroying
your countries, the Left doesn't want you to know that the people outside
their Mass Formation Democrat Failed Big Cities live and stand by and
defend the things in life that actually matter...

"These farmers are dropping their own crops for the day, a friend is in need
and they've come to help. "It's what this community and a lot of our
communities stand for... Somebody needs some help, you'll get it.""

That's the real thought crime of Freedom that's at stake here,
and it's not about Fair Use either (else they'd have to CensorBan
and shutdown all of YouTube, FaceBook, etc)...

They simply didn't want you to hear that, they don't want you to think that,
that *you* can freely and independently help and defend each other without them,
they want you to think that their dependent totalitarian nature of
Schools, Medicine,
forced Big Government Socialism Marxism, etc are the only way, that their
false political prophets and centralized supplier of "free" handouts are valid.

To top it all off, the Democrats tried to censor US Pres Candidate Kennedy
from speaking on the floor of the US Congress... dispicable.

Well, as usual throughout history, they're wrong, and ...
"We'll see how far they make it down that road" ... indeed.

As time continues to expose them, and people get to thinking about it,
their nonsense will be completely refuted and voted out in 2024.

Voluntaryism, Libertarian, Cryptocurrency, etc, as the only way
to be Free without politically forcing over other Free peoples,
will win in the end. As they say "Don't Tread On Me."
There's a universal fairness in that.

Keep Speaking Freely.


Free people can get out for Aldean and Free Speech...

US Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy supports sound money
Cryptocurrencies, and doesn't appear afraid to begin swinging some
Big Free Speech Balls Of Truth...

"
Mr. Ramaswamy appeared on stage at Saint Anselm College’s New
Hampshire Institute of Politics to the strains of Jason Aldean’s “Try
That in a Small Town.”

The music video for Mr. Aldean’s song was pulled from the air by
Country Music Television over accusations of racism. The country
singer has strenuously denied those allegations. Former President
Donald J. Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are among the
politicians who have come to his defense.

Mr. Ramaswamy began by explaining why he chose the song.

“You want to understand the best measure of America’s health? Here’s
what it is: it is the percentage of people who feel free to say what
they actually think in public,” the biotech entrepreneur told the
crowd.

“I respect—whether it’s a musical artist, whether it’s a parent,
whether it’s a corporate executive who will say in public the things
that you are otherwise supposed to keep to yourself.”

Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town

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

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

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

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

"These farmers are dropping their own crops for the day, a friend is in need
and they've come to help. "It's what this community and a lot of farm
communities stand for... Somebody needs some help, you'll get it.""

Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

Country music star Jason Aldean’s controversial video of his new song
“Try That In a Small Town” has reportedly been reedited to remove
images of Black Lives Matter protests.

That’s according to reports that have come out over the last 24 hours
from multiple media outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and The
Guardian. The Washington Post on Tuesday first reported that the video
on YouTube was six seconds shorter than the version uploaded on July
14, with a news clip from Fox 5 Atlanta about the 2020 Black Lives
Matter demonstrations having been removed. The outlet also noted that
neither Aldean, YouTube, nor the music video production company
Tacklebox responded to questions about the video’s edit.

The Epoch Times reached out to Aldean’s representatives for comment.

Aldean Under Attack For His Song’s Video

It was on July 18 after a torrent of criticism from both mainstream
media and on social media that Country Music Television (CMT) pulled
the song’s video. More than one media outlet editorialized the video,
condemning it as “racist” and “pro-gun.”

Those critical of the video also criticized its filming location. It
was shot in front of the Maury County courthouse in Colombia,
Tennessee, a site known for having been the site of a lynching of a
black man, 18-year-old Henry Choate in 1927.

The music video portrays leftist violence and lawlessness and includes
real-life scenes of rioters around the country wreaking havoc in the
wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis in May of 2020 and
incorporated scenes of protesters spitting at and attacking police
officers and convenience stores being ransacked.

Its lyrics state those who “carjack an old lady at a red light” or
“pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store” or “cuss out a cop spit in
his face” and “stomp on the flag and light it up” to “try that in a
small town” and “see how far ya make it down the road/ ‘round here, we
take care of our own.”

Aldean Defends Song’s Lyrics and Video

After CMT pulled the video from its rotation and amidst the criticism,
Aldean responded on Twitter, denying the song had any racial elements
to it.

“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching
song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the
comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the
nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but
dangerous,” Aldean wrote.

He continued, “There is not a single lyric in the song that references
race or points to it – and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t
real news footage – and while I can try and respect others to have
their own interpretation of a song with music – this one goes too far.
As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91- where so many lost
their lives – and our community recently suffered another
heartbreaking tragedy. NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see
senseless headlines or families ripped apart.”

That was prior to him speaking to audience members last Friday during
his concert in Cincinnati at the Riverbend Music Center.

“Here’s the thing, here’s one thing I feel: I feel everyone’s entitled
to their opinion. You can think of something all you want to, it
doesn’t mean it’s true—right?” Aldean said. “What I am is a proud
American. I’m proud to be from here. I love our country. I want to see
it restored to what it once was before all this [expletive] started
happening to us. I love my country, I love my family, and I will do
anything to protect that—I can tell you that right now,” he added.

Song Tops the Charts While Country Music Comes to Aldean’s Defense

Meanwhile, while fellow Country music artists including Brantley
Gilbert and Cody Johnson have come out publicly defending Aldean, the
song which was first released in May has hit No. 2 on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart and catapulted to iTunes top spot. It’s now officially
Aldean’s highest-charting single ever with 2007’s “Dirt Road Anthem”
previously holding that title.

Conversely, musical artists Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, Margo Price,
and Adeem the Artist have been critical of the song and Aldean.
