Hey all, may be you can provide some tips about how to deal with my in laws. I (34M) am a brown immigrant in Germany. Came here about 10 years ago got my degree and a job and currently a German citizen. My partner is a German. Her parents are otherwise genuinely good humans apart from the fact that they live and breathe the AFD.
We obviously don't share their politics but I never argue with them or try to change their stance on it. They are those "you are one of the good immigrants" type of folks who watch endless AFD propaganda including Björn Höcke talking about eugenics 😒 My partner tries to change them but we know it won't work.
My problem is that they cannot even go 30 minutes without talking about the AFD. Every time they invite us thats all they talk about. I usually stare at my food and don't engage while my partner tries desperately to tell them that they are watching propaganda. I just dont want to put myself through that anymore when I could be doing something much more pleasant.
Should I just cancel every time and give a random excuse and send only my partner (because despite politics it's still her folks). Or should I tell them that because I dont like the topic of discussion, I choose to sit myself out of these occasions because they should still have their freedom of speech?
