Since countering Aldean’s claim the video only contains “real news footage,” Destinee Stark has received a wave of hateful messages from defenders of the song.

    ok this song in particular has generally supported “country” ideals separated by “try that in a small town,” with each ideal being a new verse. It’s possible this is the only verse that’s actually a continuation of the previous verse while having already traversed a 20 second chorus, making no mention of the previous verse, but that seems very unlikely.

    The only verse that I’d say directly implies violence is the taking away our guns line, because knowing the culture in places like that most of these things would likely just get you laughed at or threatened/chased away (maybe could consider that violence). For first amendment I’m not saying it’s correct but just don’t be stupid about it. I’m not going to walk into Texas saying howdy fellas gonna vote to take your guns and stomp on the flag, just like I’m not gonna walk into a place in Manhattan and say yo guys deport all immigrants amirite?
