Additionally, many have likely hardened their positions since the election. Alienating such a large percentage of the populace is a shit business decision.

I'm not convinced of the long term effects of these political boycotts.  People boycotted Chick Fil A and their lines are always encircling the building.  People boycotted Target and they're parking lots and lines are still jacked.  

These things have action-reaction consequences.  Some will bolt, others will be attracted.  In the end, if you are happy enough with the product, you won't leave over a hot take explosion.  Not permanently anyway.

There's also little chance that all 70 mil if that is the number will accept his marching orders and boycott. I'd say he'd be lucky to convince 50 percent to get onboard with it.
