Yep, the Americans aren't going to like this. I also live in Europe, this view is becoming more common but it is totally incomprehensible to me. I don't need to know about the political views of people I work with, it isn't important. I don't need my employer to agree with my values. It just isn't relevant. Americans always discuss politics, it is divisive. Politics is inherently divise, that is why we have a political system to mediate it. Very old organisations (the Freemasons is one) have rules about not discussing politics. It will utterly tear society apart. Be blunt: we are saying that companies should declare themselves Democrat or Republican, and then only hire people who are idelogically pure. It is amazing, although not surprising historically, that people view more bias as the solution to bias. Btw, Europeans understand this is the wrong road because we went down it. The archetypal society governed entirely by politics was Germany pre-Hitler. It doesn't end well. There is also an irony in someone saying that it must be because Eastern Europe has so many "dictatorships"...my days, this is why people don't want to hear it (most of Eastern Europe is in the EU ffs).
