Ha...the first thing that came to mind when I read the title was "I bet someone will be arguing that there's a difference between discriminating based on something you can change (like political views) and something you can't (like race)...and then I'll proceed to go SJW on them and shame them for being a xenophobic bigot who believes people can't choose their own identity."
I guess you sort of beat me to that point.
I've got my finger on the pulse of the statist mind.
Everyone is part of a protected class, but wearing a hat is not a protected class.
If I kick out a woman for being disruptive, it is legal even though sex is a protected class.
You can decide that you will not serve people in green shirts, green shirts are not a protected class even though the person wearing the shirt is protected on the basis of race, sex, religion, etc. Green shirts are not a race, religion, sex, or any other protected class.
What if I identify as a green shirt as my race, religion, or sex though?
That's the whole point of all this.
Once you socially construct something (beginning with the glorious social contract which puts all of this in motion) each member of the collective/society (aka the individuals) has the right to pick and choose their constructs.
I mean...if we are being logically and morally consistent under the paradigm of statism (which in reality is the exact opposite of logical and moral consistency but as T0103E noted...I'm just having fun here ) then I can surely identify my "race" as "green shirt".

Two of the reasonss for Trump declaring for 2020 so early were $ and control. The campaign apparatus pays for the rallies, so they don't have to follow rules that they would if taxpayer money was involved.
Any private property owner should be to discriminate for any reason, and anyone who applauds this while demanding bakers be forced to bake cakes for gays, is a hypocrite.
I agree one must be consistent.
I am 100% against forcing anyone to serve anyone they have a moral conviction against serving.
Private company. Their right. Of course with millions of Trump supporters in existence, it's their loss.
Time will tell. I can tell you this much - Zuck and Bezos beat all projections so the Trump supporters who hate the WaPo and liberal bent of those folks sure aren't doing them any harm.
There is a local and national business here that has shunned Trump....BIG TIME. They are thriving. Penzys Spices.....4.6 Google Ratings.....
" love spending my money somewhere that supports my values!"
"Great products, great service, and a wonderful philosophy. I highly recommend them."
Remember - it's Trump Casinos, Ivanka clothing and vast others of that brand that have hurt. Decent businesses often stand up for values. Costco is amazing popular - partially because it is know they pay $20 per hour and don't treat their workers like slaves.
This is great. IMHO.

That is why he loves his feel-good rallies.
