Non sequitur. You think country fans staying country fans in the face of a left wing boycott means the country is united?

Doesn't this meme just mean the right got way more butthurt in these two examples.

I got more butthurt people in my feed supporting Aldean. I'm not sure how much outrage there actually is on the left. Just mocking memes are all I see. I'm not asking for a few supporting tweets. I know those exist. I'm just saying who listens to country and is actually boycotting Aldean?

Pretty stupid move renaming all these places. I did Basic at Ft Benning and that's the end of it, and I expect almost every vet feels the same way. Pop up one of the new names and nobody (without current connections or not living near the base) will have a clue what you are talking about ... or care less because those places are still Ft Benning, Ft Bragg, Ft Hood, ... Liberals and their biased sensitivities are simply childish POS.

I also don't get the Joint Base crap either. One branch owns the place and anybody else is a tenant.

The old names will be forgotten. As soldiers train at Ft Moore, the names of those who sought to wage war against this great nation will be forgotten.

Mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, there are far bigger things for the military to be worried about than a place name. On the other hand, there is something to be said about culture and tradition I suppose.

I blame the military veterans and current soldiers for allowing this to happen. however. These guys will go halfway around the world to kill people they don't know or have a beef with and bring freedom and democracy to them, yet won't do s#!t right here at home to fight the people here that are ruining this country. Their hate for Russians, Iranians, Syrians or whoever is stronger than their disdain for the people in their homeland that are destroying the country. I just don't understand these military folks and their logic.

Much more polarized now than 2006. If Aldean made a song called “N****r” and there was any pushback from the left, there would definitely be some “HELL YEAH THE WOKE MEDIA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS” people out there

You may actually be right. This woke nonsense has polarized the country so much that any sort of pushback, no matter how extreme, might get a certain level of support. You're creating fertile ground for a more radicalized opposition movement.

I’m not a Jason Aldean fan. Listen only occasionally to country music. I’ve read the lyrics. Seems to be just an expression of how pizzed people are about the current state of affairs in this country and the deplorable behavior that is completely ignored or given a pass. Just calling out criminal or abnormal societal behaviors. Not hard science here.

Yeah, crazy logic. It’s Americans they should be hating.

In order to question the logic of others ... you are employing some very twisted logic yourself.

What are you saying that members of the military should be doing while on the home front?

I don’t care whether people get canceled, I think it’s funny that saying the N word makes someone MORE popular and that people brag about that, and you don’t know what “triggered” means either (shockingly)

Well, your current Commander in Chief used the phrase "N***er Big Shots", didn't want his kis growing up in "ghetto jungles", and told the world about an articulate black man....and "received" over 81 million votes.

In 1977, Joe Biden did say that certain desegregation policies would force his children to grow up in a racial jungle. I'm not defending that at all ...

... but the "N***er Big Shots" line lacks some much needed context.

Joe Biden was quoting racist comments when he used the N-word in 1985

He was quoting someone else.

Nope! Context isn't important according to the Cancel Culture crowd....

Honestly, that's what's wrong with all this stupidity...no one takes context into consideration.

I don't listen to country music at all ... but I knew I had seen the name Jason Aldean before ... just remembered where ...

He was on stage when the Vegas shooting started across from Mandalay.

Aw did you get offended by my characterization of rednecks who use the N word and wear blackface? Feel free to defend that sterling group then

Doesn't that make you in an equally sterling group? It's a 2 way street from my point of view.
