I am not saying that what Airbnb did was illegal. It probably was not (although I am not at all sure). But, to me, this is a horrible business decision. Left or right is not the point here -- the corporation denying the lodging based on the customer's political views, whichever color those are, makes me put it my lower on my list of travel options.
If a hotel manager wants to ask me about my political views on arrival and, based on this, decide if he lets me stay I will not stay in this hotel and I suspect that a lot of other customers will do the same.

Chick-fil-a donating money to keep gay marriage illegal puts them further down my list of restaurants to eat at. Hell, Tesla canceled a customer's order because the customer said something negative about the company. Corporations have literally always done this. The question remains, why is this just now an issue for you? Why is now the point where you draw a line? Because if you ignore all the times companies have been shitty to liberals and/or normal human beings but draw a line in the sand when a company is shitty to a god damned actual Nazi fascist white supremacist, it makes me question a few things. Left or right does actually seem to be the issue, because you really seem to be okay with every other instance of this happening, until it happens to a nazi.
