“Wow. Haven’t seen any religious people here go to jail for their belief yet.”

Generally no, but remember that woman who refused to put her signature on the marriage certificate if they were homosexual? Didn’t she go to jail for a while?
I think she was a county clerk for a town in central USA.
Yes, she was the Rowan county, Kentucky, elected official whose office issues marriage licenses. She did go to jail rather than issue a SS “marriage” license. Interestingly, she was a Democrat.
I was in eastern Kentucky this past week to attend a funeral. This was deep in the mountains in coal country and a heavily democrat stronghold. All of the people I spoke with, except one, will vote for Mr. Trump. Most of these folks have never before voted for a Republican. All of them are enduring economic loss and hardship because of the war against coal. Many small businesses and restaurants were closed and boarded up. It used to be common to see large coal trucks everywhere. I didn’t see a single one while there. Also, the nation of Ukraine purchased coal mines and is sending the coal back to the Ukraine to be used in steel manufacturing. The visible poverty has greatly increased. It was shocking to see the decline.
