the therapist should handle it in a good way. Which might be hard if it's an issue they disagree with and could create tensions if the therapist expressed it ("you are really wasting your time, you are wrong....").
But then, the issues are the client's burnout, exhaustion, perhaps feeling of not being understood- I would want to focus on addressing those rather than political ideologies.
