I think its a larger problem that people feel comfortable posting their political opinions loudly enough across internet channels linked directly to their work. "Opinions are my own" is a cheap copout that has the same weight as "I'm not racist, but..." in terms of meaninglessness and shouldn't ever be considered valid.
The only reason to have your name and face attached to your social media that you use to be a loud twat on is because you want to also use it for business. Which means it now becomes an actual professional issue instead of just "fired for opinion."
