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.

    Yes the implied violence and the introduction of grandpas gun are purely coincidental! How misleading of OP!

      It is misleading. The second verse literally has its own implied threat.

      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

      This is just how songs, paragraphs, and language in general work.

        Just because the second verse literally has its own implied threat does not mean the first verse is unrelated. In songs and paragraphs adjacent sentences are typically related- its how English works- but I can’t speak for all languages.

          It’s not “unrelated”. It’s just not part of the same shitty statement. It’s part of a different shitty statement.

          No. I’m against people intentionally misleading others even when I agree with their general thrust.

          If people stopped buying in when they were being obviously mislead, we wouldn’t have had Trump

          This really shouldn’t be such a hard concept for you to grasp.

            That’s a lot of words to say, ‘yeah, I am spending a lot of personal, unpaid time to defend someone I don’t know’.

              Except I’m literally attacking both the song and the OP’s lying comment.

              Quit being stupid. It’s a bad look.
