conservatives love being the victim.
I don't think it's a matter of victimhood at all. If I had political opinion A then I think it does you a disservice to try to keep away people with differing political opinion B. First of all doing this creates an LA gang like atmosphere of "no go" areas for one side or the other which is unhealthy in itself. Isolating yourself from other opinions you disagree with may seem comforting and a no-brainer but arguments benefit from facing resistance the same way muscles do and atrophy the same way when left sedentary. Plus rejecting someone because of their opinions is IMHO a jerk move, it was when Biden was asked not to come to a bakery a few years again, it was when the Trump staffer was asked to leave a restaurant, etc. Merely feeding a paying customer doesn't mean you agree with their opinions. This isn't the same thing as inviting your political opponent to your wedding or bar mitzvah, it's letting them eat your delicious food product. Heck, you don't even need to talk to them while eating if you prefer.
