Posts referencing some things happening or not happening in small towns are all over lemmy & mastodon, sometimes with a picture of some country singer (?) with a cowboy hat (but never with a name do I can’t just google what’s going on).
Apparently it has something to do with threatening violence?
Some dumbass made a country song with the usual horrifyingly cliched sort of lyrics, in this case lines such as
”Try that in a small town/ See how far ya make it down the road/ Around here, we take care of our own.”
“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.”
The problem is where the video was set, and contents (many modern protests). WP sums it up as
Accusations of racism prompted a country music channel to pull the video, which is set at the site of an infamous lynching and race riot. But Republicans are embracing Aldean.
I had no idea btw, if it helps I searched DDG for “small town country music” and then went to the News tab.
Thanks for the summary! My bad, didn’t think “small town country music” would’ve been specific enough to go off, but guess I underestimated the algorithm again. Should’ve at least tried according to some of these responses I guess
Seemed likely to me that those words would show up in news articles about the issue.

Be kind people.
There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.
Who’s this about? Just a small town girl living in a lonely world? I hear she took the midnight train going anywhere…
It’s about a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit. He took the midnight train going anywhere.
As long as neither of them cease their credulity, it’s fine by me 🤷
