Jana Duggar is proving yet again that she cares little what her critics think. The Counting On alum started making headlines in October after posting a video of her brother, James, using a weed whacker to spell out the slogan “Trump 2020” in the family’s front yard. After receiving tons of backlash and losing some followers, Duggar responded by sharing yet another photo.

This one wasn’t overtly political. But it did prove that Jana is unconcerned with negative comments on Instagram.

Though the Duggar children don’t follow all the strict rules they had since childhood, like never wearing pants or watching television, they’ve all mostly remained conservative when it comes to their lifestyle. The Duggars are part of a fundamentalist Christian religion that does not follow mainstream society when it comes to raising children. The adult Duggar kids are still sticking with some version of that.

Family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar served as a Republican in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002 and his son Jedidiah is running for office in the same party. The other Duggars frequently post on social media supporting conservative values, including pro-life causes. So it’s no surprise they also advocate for President Trump’s reelection.

Her fans flooded Jana’s Instagram with negative comments

After Jana posted the yard artwork video, fans reacted strongly in the comments section, expressing their disgust that she was supporting Trump for president in 2020. Some chose to unfollow Jana because of her post.

But instead of removing her previous post or apologizing, Jana doubled down by posting another photo shortly after. This one wasn’t political, but it did highlight some of the Counting On star’s values.

Despite all the negativity on her Instagram, Jana followed up her lawn video with a picture of herself standing in front of an inspirational quote. Her caption echoed the same message, saying: “Where you are today matters for who you’ll be tomorrow.”

Fans instantly recognized the setting as Magnolia Market at the Silos, Joanna Gaines’ famous retail emporium in Waco, Texas. It’s unclear whether Jana was posting the photo from a previous visit or if she’d headed there recently. But her post proved she didn’t care about getting slammed by negative comments.

As expected, even this seemingly innocent snapshot unleashed a torrent of accusatory reactions from her followers. The Magnolia photo inspired Jana’s followers to ask how she or her family could support Trump. Again, Jana didn’t reply with any defenses or retorts, but some other followers chided the naysayers for attacking Jana’s beliefs.

The Duggar’s state will probably go to Trump

Tensions are high in the upcoming election. However, the Duggars personally won’t affect the election too much, at least when it comes to electoral votes. Arkansas is a solidly Republican state and almost all models predict that their 6 electoral votes will go to Trump. Meanwhile, her sister Jinger Vuolo will almost certainly see her home state of California go to Joe Biden.

Jana has supporters from both sides of the political aisle and would offend someone no matter what she posts.
