I do the same with companies who's politics I don't like. It's real simple; I don't like their policies and stupid bullshit?
I vote with my feet and my wallet. Fugg 'em!
What’s Your Opinion of Companies That Decide To Stop Doing Business With You Because of Politics?

I have found that most companies that play politics also sell junk. Walmart is first and foremost here. While I was a jokehovian, I used to shop there to save money on items. Turns out that I wasted more money replacing those junk items than I spent on quality items. That they have so many political agendas is just icing on the cake for them--I was through with them for lousy quality when I couldn't even find decent sun-worship items in early December 2009.
More recently, I have seen a few companies pulling products because the makers were Trump supporters. Wayfair and Bed Bath & Beyond pulled My Pillow products for this reason--My Pillow is a small business making bedding, pillows, towels, nightwear, and face masks. They make their products in Minnesota, instead of in China--hence they are a bit more expensive but worth it. If companies wish to pull products like this from their lines, that is one less reason for me to shop there instead of going directly to the site.
And, if the mob ruins Amazon, it may end up just like walmart--not worth shopping there.

The free market takes care of things like that. One long-time business in my region tried banning republicans, and were out of business within the year. Doesn't work as well with big tech unfortunately as they have more of a monopoly.

It’s just so discriminatory for big tech companies to squelch freedom of speech.

Bed Bath & Beyond pulled My Pillow
Elon Musk tweeted that he had just bought a My Pillow. Maybe Bed Bath and Beyond will retaliate by not buying Teslas or doing business with SpaceX.
