I think it was unprofessional of them to bring politics into the discussion.
^^^This. They bullied you to voice your opinion.
Being a foreigner I experience it all the times, but still try very hard not to go into any political (or religious) debates. Especially when I sense their attitude gives no room for compromises or even a civilized discussion. https://www.wellandgood.com/political-beliefs-work/

I have known a couple of employees who took sides in the election of their bosses. When the "wrong" candidate won, they ended up losing their jobs.
