I realize you're making a quip, but this is exactly why the social norm of "don't discuss politics at work" came into being. It's precisely about inclusivity in the sense that it allows people with deep-seated political disagreements to work and prosper together. Political speech is an essential part of democracy, but its seeping into all aspects of society is IMHO a real danger. There are two fundamental pathologies with food: anorexia and overeating. So too with politics. Edit: I just realized it sounds like I'm responding in opposition to something you said, but I'm not. This is more of a tangentially-related thought. :)
