Hey Mike. Help me come up with a term that's like "political prisoner" but without the imprisonment part.

  "Political wealthy, skilled, healthy dude who still has a great life"?

    Well, I guess he's a bad person for his political decisions, so it would be bad if you gave him an ounce of empathy about getting fired from a company he worked hard for for many years and obviously cared about. And I guess firing people for small donations for political movements is the right thing to do. (Welcome to the American left wing, San Francisco chapter.) So there you go. No harm or foul.

      People lose jobs all the time. Jobs they need to feed their family. They lose them for utterly trivial reasons. Why should I bother with empathy toward someone I never met who is, right now, after being fired, still a wealthy and successful person? I like your "San Francisco chapter" remark, since I don't live anywhere near.
