They won't quit with their skewed world views, so agreeing to not talk politics won't work.
I chose many years ago not to spend my life with people who make me miserable. When I do have to, I make it short. If someone brings up politics, I let it be known right at the beginning that I am a proud liberal.
So far things are working well.
