how do you get off the subject of politics when someone starts to talk about it or bring it up?

I love discussion about politics because everything about life is politics

I will simply walk away

I change the subject of discussion

Tell them you don’t want to discuss it but say it in a nice way of course

I don’t talk about politics at all to anyone, even though I do voice my dislike of Trump here lol. In person, I just tell whoever brings it up that I don’t discuss politics. I do it nicely of course but I let them know I’m not in to political debating. To me, friendships and family relationships are more important than who’s right or wrong about politics!

I just tell them I don’t get into politics.

You can smoothly shift the topic by saying something like:

“I try to keep things light—have you seen any good movies or shows lately?”

or

“That’s a big topic. Speaking of which, how’s [family/work/hobby] going?”

A polite smile and a quick subject change often work without causing offense.

I would tell them that I do not want to talk about politics because that is something that should remain private. I would also tell them in a way that is nice and pray that they understand my point of view. I also think that one way to ruin any kind of relationship is to talk about politics with anyone.

I’m interestied, but I’ve been trying to take a break from politics lately it gets overwhelming.
