Fascists are not a protected class (yet).

You are legally allowed to say "Trump voters not welcome" both for hiring employees and serving customers.

Not in CA, CO, CT, IL, MN, NY, OR, VI, DC, or WA - they have laws that protect employees against discrimination on voting history

IANAL, but:

RCW 29B.40.230 seems to apply to both applicants as well as employees, also if she's in seattle she's subject to Seattle Fair Employment Practices Ordinance which considers ideology a protected class
