get a forum going. A big one, with lots of subforums for specific problems. They're going to need it, and no doubt many families already have a strict practice of never mentioning politics around grandpa.

"Help! We've tried everything, but our mom won't stop hissing "Hillary" and "BO" all the time the TV's on or whenever we have friends over. She's gained 15 pounds from positive reinforcement treats, and they only work while she's gumming them. Not even even the squirting her in the face with water thing (yes, I know, but we're desperate!) and putting her in time-out. What can we do?"

At least yours isn't senile. Smile and give her a hug any time she doesn't mention politics.
