Jason Aldean, the song's called "try that in a small town. Basically threatening to shoot the "wrong people" if they go to small country towns.

I don't know the song, are the "wrong people" shooting kids or holding hands with a person of the same gender?

I have a hunch it's the latter, but I want to have some hope.

No mention of LGBT people in the lyrics, but the music video has footage probably meant to evoke the BLM protests and he recorded scenes for the video in front of a courthouse with a history of race riots and lynching ( Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, TN. Mostly the lyrics of the song seem to be talking about "city crime" and conservative no-nos like flag burning and disrespecting police. There's also a "don't come for our guns" line.

So when the government comes for our guns, who will take them? I always assumed it was going to be, you know, the police.

Cognitive dissonance is a large portion of the republican starter pack.

I thought that was like the only requirement. Failing to see even the most obvious inconsistencies in their worldview is what they do.
