it affects you morally. one could say the same about a pedophile or rapist or racist. let's say someone was all 3 of those but you knew it wouldn't affect the business you do with them. would you do it? this isn't to equate them but it is to see if you argument holds up in an edge case. I don't want to associate with, or have someone benefit from my labor, or even profit from their insights if I have such moral disagreements. but some people don't care about morals at all and only care about profit so to them it may not matter.

People who indulge in such activities are clearly breaking the law and should be reported. Pieter supporting Trump is legal!

So you don't want to associate with half the country? It's your choice, but do you see the importance of letting people have different opinions (as long as they are legally acceptable) and agree to disagree?

half the country? first it's only expected voters which is like 40 pct of america. then only around 30 pct of those support trump. so yes i'm fine not associating with 12 pct of people.
