What it if was slightly harder than just a disagreement with a boss? Let's say you are walking out of work at a job you love and you see a sign or something that says your employer is donating X% of profits to pro-life activists or like when Google employees went crazy over military drone AI? Can you still work there knowing your daily efforts support a cause you disagree with?

I don't even believe in politics.
Plus, it's probably going to get dangerous to talk about politics.
Let's talk philosophy and ethics instead.

I would never have a job if I had to quit every time my employer served a movement I hate.

I don't think I would ever work somewhere that openly espoused political stances that I vehemently disagreed with, but I suppose some Google employees were shocked to see their employer supporting military drones. So, in your scenario, yeah, I'd probably start putting resumes out if I suddenly found myself in an anti-gay organization.
Of course, the scenario takes this thread from "can you be friends with someone?" to "can you work to support an organization?"

Yeah, of course i can co exist. I also find it very rewarding to listen and talk about different views on stuff.
Do you experience political polarization like we do in the US?
Probably even more. Argentina actually went through a right wing military dictatorship that many still pine for. And in the age of Milei...
To answer the OP I don't see people in terms of sides and I have several friends I disagree with on a number of issues all across the political spectrum. There are extremes I won't break bread with for reasons of moral conscience (think: actual nazis) but many of my friends and family are people I love with whom I disagree politically.
Lots of Americans also pine for various military dictatorship so I don't know if I would say more.
