There comes a time when one realizes doing the decent thing to indecent people doesn't change them in the slightest, because they keep being indecent people, and then the decent thing to do is to be indecent right back.

That at least would feel good in the moment.  Separating them from their kids and deporting them still seems to offer the best hope of helping them develop empathy.

Republicans are like psychopaths, they cannot experience empathy.

Then I'll have to go with fucking with them for the shits and giggles, provided they are someone responsible for the crappy policies we're seeing under Trump or those who support and rationalize them, like Huckabee.  

But republicans in general are off limits.  Anyone who tries to deport one of Brewer's furry kids will have me and my furry kids to answer to.

If they're a political figure (Like SHS) then I think it's perfectly fair to deny service to them.

If, however, they were an ordinary citizen, then I don't think it'd be fair.

Though I'm not surprised many of them same people who are okay with discriminating against gay people, are against this type of discrimination. Apparently your political beliefs are held above your sexual orientation for some people. Probably because they're actually at risk of being discriminated against.

This. Ostracize the former for what they do not who they are.

I think it depends.

If someone is going around broadcasting their political beliefs, or displaying hateful symbols, I think it would be reasonable to refuse service.

If you just happen to know what someone's beliefs are, then I don't see that as reasonable grounds. I think the moral thing to do is treat people decently while they are behaving decently.

I also think it's just going to create more friction, divisiveness and amunition to be bringing in politics when the customer hasn't done so.
