I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.

I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if it were my business.

Can you imagine having principles that are more important than profitability?

There are zero "principles" involved in that sign. It's one ass trying to piss off other asses.

You don't actually know that, though to be fair, an actually principled stance would be to refuse to serve all Republicans and not specifically Trump supporters. In some ways Trump is becoming the lesser evil of the Party when compared to some of the other monsters running against him.
