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.

I would do the following.

Politely ask her to refrain from talking about politics at work as it makes you uncomfortable.
If #1 fails, go to your supervisor/manager and put in a formal complaint.
If #2 isn't handled discreetly or is simply ignored, go to your superior's boss and repeat the action of step #2.
If #3 fails, go to HR.
If #4 fails or there is no HR to go to, seek new employment elsewhere, and write a review of company on Glassdoor.
