This thread seems to have taken more of a "what-to-do" if you represent the political minority in the workplace.
One of the great benefits of becoming an independent contractor is that I'm usually able to avoid the political dynamic in an office setting. If it comes up, at least it's short-term. Fanaticism from either extreme becomes tedious and emotionally taxing when you're a captive audience. The unspoken career benefits can be pluses or pitfalls if you are politically vocal in the workplace.
So I'm in agreement with many here...
Generally, whether I'm part of the political majority or not, I prefer to steer clear of any political (or religious) conversations in the work setting.
