If I didn't read authors with political views I find offensive, I wouldn't have anything to read. Including the backs of cereal boxes. On the contrary, so long as the writing is good and the story is engaging, I'd just as soon read fiction by someone whose view on the world is very different from my own.
For me to consciously avoid an author based on their politics, they'd have to be like a card-carrying fascist. And I mean a real fascist, not a straw man fascist.
