How can you avoid it?

Its quite literally the only thing in the news.

Its overtaken sports, entertainment, literally everything.

I find it impossible to avoid.



That's 100% a you problem, YOU are making it your entire life.

I haven't talked 1 word of politics with anyone in real life in years. Have people made references while talking to me? Sure. I just don't answer, and that's that. If they keep going, I exit the conversation.

It's extremely simple. You're doing it wrong if you feel you can't avoid it. You either want every topic to be about politics or you're hanging out with the wrong people.

I don't think it's quite that simple any more. Your strategy has been mine all my life. Unfortunately, not discussing some of these things with family can come to a head, because ignoring the discussion can sometimes have real life consequences that impact the ones you love.
