I need some ideas for things to do to keep me occupied for a week. My wife, kids, and I are at her parents for a week for christmas, along with all of her sisters and their families. All of the in-laws are die hard libs. We have agreed not to discuss politics, but it keeps slipping up. I keep having to bite my tongue to keep the peace and disappearing to keep my BP down. Give me some ideas.

Just be a normal person who can control themselves from talking politics and you'll be fine.

Take this opportunity to educate them.
Obviously they are victims of misinformation.
Impress them with facts and dispel their brainwashed ideas.

This.

If there are kids in the house they will likely take the blame.

They're not accidentally bringing up politics. They're expecting you to play by the rules while they screw with you.

Make them explain their beliefs and defend their positions. Usually shuts people up when they find they can't extrapolate beyond mechanical parroting.

I'd bring up politics and have it out, draw a line in the sand and burn bridges. I don't play nice with my enemies no matter the cost, I just can't compromise.

Ummm..why don't you just say "I thought we weren't going to talk politics? If your intention is to keep bringing it up and make back handed comments, we're going to head home and relax."

If they don't have the decency to respect the peace and keep trying to start an argument, they don't really care about you and you should leave.

Everyone else in this thread appears to just want to start more drama and bring more of it down upon themselves.

There is a certain satisfaction knowing that you are the bigger and better person, especially when they act like petulant children. Be an adult, and try to get along........it's family......it's Christmas.

Take the high road. Stay engaged in conversations and activities and just shut up when they turn political. It can be kind of hard if someone is actually prodding you but I've made it pretty clear that I'm just not going there. I went through all of Obamas Presidency that way and I haven't really changed after Trump's election during Thanksgiving. I've found it not too hard to do with aunts, uncle, cousins that may not be hard core left but they have supported every Dem since I can remember.

Tell your wife your're itching to get back home and work on some projects.

Next time be sure to leave and stay less at your in-laws.

If you had to fly I can see the longer stay but I'm good after 3-4 days at my in-laws.

We've put up with hearing their crap for 8 years.

I intend to force feed them their shit sandwich and laugh at them doing it. My brother was smug enough to bet that Trump wouldn't be elected by the EC AFTER the election. One Ben Franklin.

Anyone who says politics isn't personal doesn't grasp reality. They want to destroy the country, my kids' futures and the life I love. Fuck them with a rusty bayonet.

This. It's about control, and right now... they're controlling the battlefield and your rules of engagement.
Fucked up, isn't it? Of course, it's remarkably consistent with Liberals wanting to exercise control over other people.

Want to flip it around? Engage on your own terms:

"I want to discuss politics with you, but on equal footing. I want a public place with some kind of an audience instead of you attempting to control the venue and 'rules' of debate."

They will either engage and prove your point about control (like calling a yelling screeching bitch a 'noisy cunt'), or they will not engage... problem solved.

Make the debate about control. Their desire for control will sink them.

Wouldn't recommend that. I was too hammered to explain why the fewest number of electors a state could have was 3 no matter how few people live there to my idiot brother who kept blathering on about the CA vs WY meme.

My little sister didn't vote, but said she would have voted for Hillary. My maternal grandparents are CNN loving, brain dead democrats.
