    While religion is a protected class, political orientation is not protected. It is perfectly legal (and moral) to ask someone if they are conservative before agreeing to do work for them.

    You can even cite a policy to really drive it home: “I do not conduct business with racists, bigots, misogynists, homophobes, xenophobes, fascists or any other type of conservatives.”

      Some asshole lawyer will eventually win the argument that religiosity and conservatism are commutative.

      And tbh, they’ll be right.

        Nope. Conservatism is a political affiliation. Will always be before the eyes of the U.S. law*

        *Unless the fucking SCOTUS fucks things up again.

        Sure, just look at Trump supporters they are a cult, so maybe they can get a religious protection.

        “My religion forces me to vote republican.”

        “My religion forces me to cut up baby dicks.”
