First of all, I think political views are part of your public persona, especially when you've donated a huge chunk of money towards them. I don't think I could have a professional relationship with someone who was actively campaigning to make my life miserable.
If my boss were donating money to groups trying to strip civil rights from people with Irish ancestry, which I happen to have, could you really fault me for not wanting to work with them?
The phrase "disagree politically" sounds very civilized and sterile. But in practical terms you are asking me to ignore the fact that my boss views me as an inferior being, and holds this feeling so strongly that it's worth spending $1000 to punish me and others like me by legally stripping away my rights.
