So, don't discuss things in terms of political parties and instead focus on actual issues and how, for example, your conservative approach to fiscal policy is better. Avoid discussions about or support of leaders who regularly proclaim how your race is superior or your sexual identity is superior and you should be fine. For example, I worked very closely with Brendan Eich for about 15 years and we had reasonable conversations on issues that he, as a strong conservative, saw very differently than me (so far to the left I can't be seen by mortal eyes, I make actual communists sound like Ronald Reagan) and I'd honestly be OK with anyone, including current colleagues, or potential employers reading any of that. It was respectful and even enlightening (but mostly entertaining.) I knew early on that Brendan had ideas in some areas that we weren't going to agree on or have a good time debating, and so I avoided those but otherwise it was a fine working relationship. Avoid being an asshole and dehumanizing others and you should be OK.
