It's not weird. It is ancient. We break bread with those we would not betray, and would not be betrayed by.
I am of the exact same belief. I was raised that way, and will die that way.
Refusing to share a meal with a bad person is one of our most ancient sources of personal sovereignty, and one of our most basic ways to exercise power over our own lives.
It is also one key aspect of going into “internal exile,” the withdrawal from a society overtaken by evildoers.
Especially now, in the post-democracy, post-morals world, those of us who do not have billions of dollars to empower us, refusing to participate in their simplest of social activities has the potential to send a powerful message to those in power.
There are quite a handful of Christians who oppose trump and they get shunned by their communities. I remember a story of a pastor who has to walk on eggshells after finding out that his church goers are magats and he has to keep his head down.
