Talking Politics w/your Desk

Anyone ever talk politics with your desk and/or your boss? If so, do you agree with almost everything they say even though you don't really believe it? How do you deal with Trumpers at work?

Nope, never. Not worth it, especially because of your last sentence. If a conversation could be had without one person trying to claim the other is racist, homophobic, yada, yada, because of their political ideologies then, sure. But that’s just not the world we live in anymore. It’s sad that we are at a point in time where being a conservative (not even a Trump supporter) could hinder your career. But, c’est la vie, this is the world we live in.
