"we do not serve [fill in candidate's name] supporters"

Is that tongue in cheek or serious? I'm not American, or a lawyer, but I'm sure the constitution would have something to say about that...

Political views are not protected under discrimination laws in the USA, which scares me because the Thought Police scare me. Businesses can refuse to serve you and to hire you.

<Federal Laws Don’t Prohibit Political Discrimination Not all forms of discrimination are illegal, however. It is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for employers to make job decisions based on race, color, national origin, religion, and sex. Other federal laws prohibit discrimination based on age, disability, and genetic information. However, political views aren’t covered by these laws and the laws of most states. This means employers are free to consider political views and affiliations in making job decisions.>
