In office, it's best to never ever let your political and social views be ever expressed. It's best to talk anything else like sports or some other dumb harmless topic like Geology and tectonic plate movement. There are far too many overly sensitive people these days who can get offended just because you didn't use proper punctuation. I'm just exaggerating but trying to share what I've seen in bay area. So it's best to appear dumb and insipid than get on someone's shit list or the HR's list.

So my motto usually is 'Smile, everybody loves idiots'

And as I added in another reply - Go to work, smile like an idiot :p and collect a paycheck. There is no point getting into political and social arguments and campaigns. Unless you hear something very very dangerous like a terrorist plot or something, just move on.
