78% of former NFL players are under severe financial stress or bankrupt within 2 years. We're putting people into predictably bad situations over and over, and then saying fuck em they were weak when they don't work out.
Jeez. I'm unironically wondering if the repeated low-grade brain injuries have anything to do with that.

I have the same problem, although I'm really very progressive so for me the constant drift to politics is less hostile and more annoying.
Something that helped me was responding to political jabs and the like with a slightly awkward, stony silence. Treating an "orange man bad" comment like someone farting in a church - something that's impolite and and embarrassing, but not quite at the level where you'd call it out. If possible, recruit a couple of like-minded, trusted people to do the same - you'd be surprised how a handful of people can change group dynamics with focused effort.
It might be too late for your group, especially if the less-politicized people have already disappeared. But it can be done.
