Most political affiliations would not have any effect on my spending, but some affiliations that I find abhorrent (which is a nice word for "dumb" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) would. This would be equally true if I would overhear a conversation in which the owner or an employee share his political views, or if I would see them at a political rally or something similar.I would agree that using your business (any business, imo) to promote any political cause or point of view is bad for business. I also doubt if it would have any effect on the political views of people visiting your business. I can't imagine anyone thinking: "Look, my FLGS supports party X or campaign Y, well, let's join them in their support!" I both think and hope people are more intelligent than that.</blockquote>
