Fans of 'trad wife' influencer Nara Aziza Smith are convinced they figured out who she and her husband, Lucky Blue, voted for in the presidential election amid a bizarre witch hunt into celebrities who secretly supported president-elect Trump.
Neither Nara, 23, nor Lucky Blue, 26, have spoken about their political beliefs, but in the aftermath of Trump's stunning victory last week, a Redditor posted screengrabs he believed proved Lucky Blue was a Trump fan.
The screengrabs showed the male model allegedly shared a celebratory election post from conservative American activist Scott Presler on his TikTok. They also appeared to show he was following conservative pundit Charlie Kirk.
Many then assumed that if Lucky Blue were a Republican who may have voted for Trump, he must have convinced his doting wife to do so as well.
The news seemed to have stunned some social media users, with one TikToker saying she 'can't say I saw that coming' and will have to 'unfollow her', despite liking her content.
Netizens are convinced Nara Aziza Smith and her husband, Lucky Blue Smith, are secretly Trump supporters
They pointed to screengrabs showing Lucky allegedly shared a celebratory election post from conservative American activist Scott Presler on his TikTok page and was apparently following conservative pundit Charlie Kirk
Others, though, seemed to suggest her 'trad wife' videos in which she makes soaps and even Coca-Cola from scratch lends itself to a conservative view.
'Nara Smith turning out to be a conservative after being the face of an extremely conservative anti-feminist movement,' one social media user wrote.
Another said that 'people finding out Nara Smith is a Trump supporter as if the entire "trad wife" lifestyle isn't anti-feminist at its core like WE KNEW.'
'Like pls be so for real, there's no way y'all thought Mormon trad wife Nara Smith was voting the same as you,' a third said, while a fourth wrote 'Lucky Blue Smith being a Republican and at one point a Trump supporter' with a reaction GIF saying 'Pretends to be shocked.'
Dr. Jess Maddox, a social media expert, also said: 'The fact that so many people are shocked to learn Nara Smith's politics is revealing so much about the relationship between homesteading, gender and politics.
'This isn't just fun aesthetics for people doing it,' she said. 'This is an ideological project seeking converts.'
Another X user wrote: 'So NOW do y'all understand that the critiques leveled against Nara Smith had nothing to do with Mormonism itself, but with the sanitization and promotion of FASCISM AND TRADITIONAL VALUES?'
Nara a Bloemfontein, South Africa-born beauty, who was raised in Germany , met Lucky, a Mormon from Utah, when they were both models in 2019, and converted to Mormonism one year later when they got married
Nara a Bloemfontein, South Africa-born beauty, who was raised in Germany, met Lucky, a Mormon from Utah, when they were both models in 2019, and converted to Mormonism one year later when they got married.
She was just 18 years old at the time, and after just six months of dating, she became pregnant with her eldest child.
Nara and Lucky Blue now have three children - Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and Whimsy Lou - and have inspired others to start cooking from scratch.
But the clips have also garnered a measure of controversy at times, according to a profile published in Harper's Bazaar in August.
Some commenters are critical of her embracing the cliché of a traditional housewife and nostalgia toward a timeframe when women's rights had not evolved to the point where they are now.
Smith said of her critics, 'For the sake of my mental health, I can’t indulge in that. I can’t keep correcting people or read things and get frustrated.'
Lucky also defended her against the critics, who he said are coming from a place of envy.
'People are seeing her gaining some success from everything she’s doing,' Lucky said.
'If you have someone who doesn’t know you at all and they’re making a video about you online with things that are not true, you can just tell it’s coming from a place of jealousy. Let’s call it what it is.'

Nara also said in the piece that she is expressing her individuality and hopes others can find value in the,.
'To me, it's all about just putting what I love out there, and whoever can resonate with that and take something away from it - that's what I want to do,' Smith said.
'Sometimes my outfits aren't the most practical, but then again fashion isn't always practical.
'That's what I do. I post videos of me cooking for my kids and my husband. It's really not that deep.'
