You would think so, but if you look at the picture, he in a fairly rural area, so most people there will be conservative. Also, he's in the building supply industry, and from what I've gathered visiting bulletin boards for home builders, they tend to be more conservative than your average person.

I'd bet that his customers closely mirror the Chick-Fil-A demographic. He's probably only turning away about 10-20% of his customers, and he might be attracting an equal number of new customers.

His customer's may not have convenient alternatives, and probably are more concerned with price than his politics.

Oh, and probably much of that lumber he's selling was cut on government land.
