My retired parents have an antique shop in a Victorian House - in VA. They are what you would call

hard right conservatives. They are all races and political convictions that come into the shop to buy.

None of this matters, as they are customers. I am in the shop often and have much enjoyed debating those on the left with polite conversation. Nobody became angry. Most returned to shop again in the store. The gays are some of the best customers.

One of my good friends also owns an antique shop in the same town. He is a conservative gay Republican and a good guy.

This lady has probably just isolated half of her business. I would gladly eat in any restaurant regardless of the political beliefs of the owner if they serve good food. Hell would freeze over before I would eat in her restaurant due to the way she treated Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I would be afraid they would do something to my food.

Most restaurants operate on a thin profit margin. Conservatives will no longer patronize her. The far left will just to make a statement but will then go back to their former eats. She may actually have a momentary uptick in business but it will be short lived. A few months from now her new liberal customers will be gone and the conservatives will never return. Her restaurant is “dead meat financially.”

When it goes bankrupt she will blame right wing hate.
