There's no hypocrisy. It's all of a piece. Conservatives do not care about process and equality. They care about outcome and hierarchy. They believe that Sarah Sanders Huckabee deserves deference and gay couples do not. The point of the "fuck your feelings" shirts is that liberal feelings do not matter and conservative feelings do. Conservatives do not believe in the Golden Rule. They believe, I've got mine, and fuck you. Since Trump expresses that better than anyone else, they adore him for it. People who thought they were conservative who disagree are discovering that they are no longer conservative.
I don't generally reply to the same post twice, but just heard the alleged voicemail message from Red Hen, " if you are a trump supporter, or even smell like one, you aren't welcome here."

Problematic? Can a restaurant avoid serving someone that might think likely supported Obama?

also, side note, actually legal question- Ollie's BarBQ was a case because there was a federal law preventing discriminating due to race? Everyone on FB talks about rights being violated by not making a cake for a gay couple- without a law, is there really a constitutional right violated if a baker doesn't want to make a cake?
