This Is Why Trump Won
Katrina Trinko / @KatrinaTrinko / November 30, 2016
Like many Americans, HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines attend a church where the pastor thinks homosexual behavior is a sin.
And somehow that’s “news.”
BuzzFeed printed the original story, headlined “Chip And Joanna Gaines’ Church Is Firmly Against Same-Sex Marriage.” From there it was picked up by Cosmopolitan, Us Weekly, and my favorite, Jezebel.
Why?
Now to be clear, the Gaineses aren’t even quoted in the original BuzzFeed story. We have no idea what they personally think about same-sex marriage. In fact, a spokesperson for the Antioch Community Church where the Gaineses attend, specifically tells BuzzFeed “she could not speak for Chip and Joanna Gaines on same-sex marriage.”

So, how does this story relate to why Trump won?

It's the same kind of menacing and harassment (see also the florists and bakers) forcing total submission to the alphabet soup lobby agenda that a good number of people are sick of receiving. The Gaines couple knows full well what happened to Phil Robertson, and he was one of the lucky ones—and yet, despite their right to remain silent (hey, if we're going to make penumbral rights out of SCOTUS rulings, might as well extend them as wide as they can be spread), they're being smeared for not explicitly kowtowing.
The alphabet soup lobby knows we have a right to believe what we (I and others who share my values) believe, and they hate it. Thus, they will do what they can, by way of mob coercion, to starve out those who believe the way we do through the private/corporate sector. I would say it was a huge factor in the people's rejection of Hillary Clinton; this was our way of striking back.
Of course, Trump's open acceptance of the same lobby agenda doesn't help... but at least he's not openly pushing it the way Clinton would.

I really enjoy this show, particularly because of the interaction between the two. They are long-married, respectful of each other, hard-working, funny and appear to enjoy each other's company. I can see how the left would have a problem with them.

And like Trump, many of his fans have decided that Christians shouldn't do certain jobs like county clerk. That is easily transferred to other public sector jobs like policeman, judge, or army chaplain.
