How do I just block politics on this site?

Don't go into the thunderdome, avoid any of the multimedia threads for new controversial shows, avoid Internet Famous entirely and throw anyone injecting it into other threads an Easter Island statue.
 
Get one of those word changer extentions so if a particular topic makes you cringe you can change it to something like "BORINGSHIT" so you'll scroll past it when you see it.

Otherwise, report it to mods and give that moai out. If you find a better way, contact Null because he too struggles with people shitting up his lolcow area. :(
