After Jason Aldeans wife Brittany received backlash for posting photos of her kids wearing anti-President Biden T-shirts, the country star took to Instagram to defend his family and his beliefs.
I will never apologize for my beliefs or my love for my family and country, Aldean wrote Thursday alongside a photo of his silhouette in front of an American flag. This is the greatest country in the world and I want to keep it that way. #unapologetic #phoenixwasfire
The singers statement comes after Brittany Aldean posted a photo wearing a shirt that reads Anti Biden Social Club, while another picture showed the couples children, 4-year-old son Memphis and 2-year-old daughter Navy, wearing black shirts emblazoned with the message Hidin From Biden. Though Aldean himself was not pictured wearing anti-Biden clothing in the photos, he did comment on a photo of his son wearing one of the shirts, writing, My boy!
When one Instagram user accused Brittany of using the couples children as political props, Aldean also defended his family. According to The Washington Post, Aldean commented, saying, Watch ur mouth lady! We will teach our kids what we think is right and what we think is best for their future. If you think what is happening right now is great for the future of our kids and grandkids, u are delusional! When a commenter stated, If you thought Trumps path for America was any better, youre delusional!, to which Aldean responded, Definitely better than what we got now! Please tell me one thing that the current administration has done that is positive? Just 1!!!

(47,496 posts)to revere a racist, misogynistic, vulgar, vindictive, compulsive liar is also the antithesis of everything Jesus taught. I'll never understand what these people see in that monster. I saw it years ago, long before politics was involved. As they say, he always told us who and what he was and they welcomed him with open arms nonetheless.

Now, we DID hear about the Las Vegas shooting, of course. But whose set was going on at the time, the German media apparently didn't think was quite as vital to report.

And $80 million doesn't impress me. So he has a McMansion somewhere and flies around in a private jet with a golden sink? In Dallas, there are people for whom that's pocket change. If the guy's a right wing jerk, he could be Charles Koch for all I care.

Cute kids, but it is child abuse in my eyes to use your own children to make a public political statement.
The parents did this on purpose to draw attention to themselves using their own children as click bait. They need to suffer the consequences.

(4,218 posts)My friend is part of an EMT team at a local concert venue. When asked whose fans are the worst she said Jason Aldean. I had never heard of him at that point but apparently after his concert they had to bring out the fire hoses to clean off the vomit from the parking area. When asked whose fans were the most fun and cooperative - Jimmy Buffet. They come with their own built in bars and clean up after themselves.

Sorry, theres a paywall but you can get the gist from the beginning and the comments. Brittany is apparently an adulterer also so she has that in line with trump.

(35,345 posts)they make some political remark everyone should agree with them and if you don't they get pissed.
A group of us retirees went bike riding this week. There was one guy that tried his best to get a political argument going.
A couple times he had to make comments about nobody will work because of the $300
they are getting for sitting at home. He made a couple comments how bad the crime was in the Chicago. He made comments about how gas prices have gone up this year. He never mentioned Biden just kept dropping hints to get a response about Biden, I didn't bite.
Go to any McDonalds any morning and there will be a group of retirees talking about either how the coach lost the game or talking about their "Dear Leader".

That said, I'm no real fan of contemporary commercial country music (again, with a few exceptions).

OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)but I think it should be changed to to today's "Commercial" country music.
There is a lot of good non-commercial country music but the same can be said for most any genre.
Even though underground death metal is my favorite music I love a lot of bluegrass and western swing and, of course, the oldies.
You do have to be a bit choosy, though, to find country music not made by trump Humpers.

All said and done, I would not have gone after a picture of hidin from Biden. I would if encouraging anti vacc'ing where it causes death to others.

If you still support Trump after January 6th, you are anti-America.

Dr. Aldean our school district won't let my beautiful daughter go to kindergarten because we refuse to give her the experimental polio vaccine. Can you help us change their hardened hearts?

Someone else wrote that for him, he doesn't have the ability or psychological understanding to put something like that together. He's similar to trump in the aspect that everything is about him. That's why these selfish individuals gravitate to the dimwitted don. Same character.

(165 posts)Look, y'all. I raised my kids with my values, political beliefs, overall liberal views...
I took them to rallies at early ages, sometimes they held signs (obviously reflective of their mother's views at the time). I have pics of them with many democratic/left-leaning politicians as they grew up. Granted, I don't have the reach of some country singer star or whoever this family is, but I posted some of those proud moments on social media.
I may not agree with what they are teaching their children, but I also am not ever going to apologize for raising my kids the way I have.

(43,408 posts)Anti Social Social Club (an underground streetwear brand, I have some of their clothing, etc) should sue the fuck out of whoever is selling those shirts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti_Social_Social_Club
Anti Social Social Club (sometimes stylized as ASSC and AntiSocialSocialClub) is a streetwear brand founded by Neek Lurk, who previously worked for Stüssy as a social marketing manager. The brand has collaborated with A Bathing Ape, Rimowa, Dover Street Market, Playboy, Hello Kitty, Hot Wheels, DHL, Formula 1 and FaZe Clan.
Anti Social Social Club was founded in 2015 through Twitter. It releases limited collections each year. The inspiration for creating this brand came from the founder's mental health struggle at age 27. Lurk used his brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. The first product was a basic hat with the logo on the side. Shortly after its founding, ASSC became a popular trend.
