I don't talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.

My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.

Then I'd be the one starting drama I guess...

I'm looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don't want to work listening to conspiracy theories.

"Please don't talk about politics in the workplace. It is unprofessional."

People like that routinely ignore polite exhortations.

Are you trying to blame the victim here?

I didn't suggest being polite.

For the discussed situation, you response is so neutered that it verges on transparently hypocritical.
