You could always do this. But you'd be a damn idiot to antagonize half a potential customer base but ... Well that's one way to run a business.

I may be misinformed - but I was led to believe this is a book shop and therefore unlikely to lose many customers

the potential customers that would already point their finger at you screaming "shame" if they saw you do business with people they dislike? Good riddance.

Depending on where they're based it could be much less than half

Nowhere close to half of Americans are Trump supporters.

Even if you go by voting numbers in the only election he actually won (and even that wasn't by popular vote), it WAS closer to ⅓, and that was SEVEN YEARS AGO. I'd wager quite a few who called themself a supporter back then have changed their minds since. They're just not speaking up about it, and so the perception is skewed.

Half? Yeah right! Even if they were half the nation - which they aren't - it's gonna be like 90% in some areas and 10% in others.
