Making one's political leanings known is no big deal (although I also prefer all of my hobbies to remain free of politics) but routinely calling half the country (and half of your potential customers) racist, insinuating that black people can't leave their homes for fear of being lynched by white supremacists or saying that a young black woman has likely never had a positive experience with a middle aged white guy, as Grant routinely does, cannot be a positive thing in promoting one's business. And then Grant doesn't understand why RBW is not getting many orders. People do make purchasing decisions based on politics. Like it or not.
I have a ton of respect for Grant and the way he runs his business and treats his employees. I also enjoy reading most of the non-bike stuff he writes about and of course, I love the bikes but some of the things he says in the political realm literally make him look nuts to much of the rest of the country. Pam Karlan day? REALLY?
