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.
He probably means the people who riot, destroy cars, homes and businesses of average people.
Shooting them is wrong and this guy probably is a dickhead, yes, but a lot of normal, average citizens will agree to this.
Edit: To clarify, I mean that‘s how the right get‘s people on their side. Rioting will just result in more people agreeing with people like this guy, even if the message is absurd.
Well I don’t think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he’s not one of the songwriters. Also he’s not from a small town.
Because he’s going to gain a large following amount the core base of die hard modern country music listeners. The people who are (rightfully) upset about it weren’t listening to him anyway.
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.

Why the fuck would he knowingly sing something he would know would cost him his reputation?
Answer: he knows the song is racist and agrees with the message.

🤦 I keep forgetting no one cares anymore and the U.S. is split up into factions. All the more reason for the left to arm themselves, I guess.
This isn’t really a new thing. Take the Dixie Chicks for example.
Not that I disagree with the second part, at all.
