I see it as more of a problem of the current era that the mode and content of discourse in the US has devolved to a point where everyone has such extreme and polarised views that one is bound to be completely politically incompatible with... what, ~40% of the population? And espousing any sort of political opinion is likely to completely alienate anyone who disagrees. So if one's employer leans towards Republican politics and you're a Democrat, or vice versa -- even though it's purely for reasons of profit (e.g. restricting visas reduces ability to hire skilled employees from overseas) -- it's basically as if your employer is literally Hitler because the supported policies on the whole are bound to be wayyyy over on the other end of the scale. In other countries with a less.. binary political system, disagreement is more nuanced. It's not either-or. And companies publicly supporting extreme politics are in the minority, and it's safer to have political discussions with friends without having to disown people.
