Talked to my mom, she's stressed (and now so am i) about my sister and her husband voting for trump. I'm not sure where to even begin. I'm going to my sister's husband's house for his birthday party and I'm almost at the point where i'll threaten to walk out if politics come out. I don't even want to get into it.
They won't abide by such a request unless you make THEM uncomfortable bringing up politics around you, which means that if they insist on bringing up politics, you need to do ALL of the following relentlessly:
- Call them pussies for not being able to handle a black guy taking a seat during an anthem.
- Tell them that America is not their personal "safe space" from black and brown people.
- Everytime they bring up a conspiracy theory, call it out as a "dumbass conspiracy theory that shows desperation"
- Tell them if they want to start discussing politics, they need to "start learning what a fucking paper trail is".
- Ask them if they will do America a favor and self-deport to Russia after Hillary wins.
- Stop them mid-sentence to inform them that you can't understand them when their mouth is full of Trump's dick.
- When they inevitably say you are being rude, just respond with "well you dipshits wanted to discuss politics and from what I remember you hypocrites hate political correctness."
And whatever else you can come up with. Be relentless in a way that makes THEM uncomfortable talking politics when you are around. I personally can attest to the fact that this shit works very well so long as your only goal is making them shut up about their political views.
