Those are his pictures with Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Rick Santorum (all Republican presidential candidates), and Sarah Palin (former Republican vice presidential candidate).
It's a shame that they're not just random celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Kanye West.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_DuggarDuggar's father, Jim Bob, was a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for two terms while Josh was a teenager.[16] Duggar has also been active in conservative politics. In 2007, while running a car dealership he worked as a part-time political consultant under the business name Strategic Political Services.[17][18] In 2008, he worked on the Republican presidential primary campaign of Mike Huckabee, and in 2012 he toured with the presidential campaign of Republican Rick Santorum where Josh spoke at rallies in support of Santorum.[18][19]
From June 2013 to May 2015, Duggar was the Executive Director of FRC Action, the non-profit political action and lobbying arm of the Family Research Council.[17][18][20] He said at the time that his role would be "engaging the grassroots and taking the message of faith, family and freedom all across America".[21] Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, said that by hiring Duggar they hoped to appeal to more young people and tap into the popularity of his TV series and said "The big part of Josh’s focus is going to be building our grass-roots across the country".[22] In his role with FRC Action he has associated with many high profile Republicans, including potential 2016 presidential candidates including Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Perry.[23]
Duggar advocates for "family-centered" conservative Christian Right viewpoints, including opposition to abortion, divorce, and gay marriage.[17][22] He has described his extended family as the "epitome of conservative values".[23] The Family Research Council, which he worked for, has been labeled as an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center; SPLC says they were designated as such due to their publication of "anti-gay propaganda".[24][25] Duggar was described as an "anti-gay activist" by GLAAD.[26]

So fucked up, these Quiverfull people. I'm scared
I wish someone could've contacted her and said "this is some fucked up shit, get out of there!"
Nevada is kind of a tough place. There's a saying that many of the old women around here have, 'keep his stomach full and his nuts empty.' A lot of them aren't all that religious.
Personally, I can get behind this line of thought.

To the question of who are they, in short they're active conservative voices with heavy opposition to things like gay marriage, their biggest slogan is that gay marriage ruins the sanctity of marriage and goes against traditional family values. Josh Duggar himself was one of the more recent heavier voices, even after his sister-molesting stuff came to light, and now that he's also been cheating on his wife. Good ol' Family Values!
To the question of why you should care, that's not something I can answer. That's up to you, but if you don't care, then why are you here?
