You don't have to quit right this moment, but you can use the knowledge that you are quitting to change how you deal with your current job; you can keep your head down and chug away for a little while, calmly oblivious to politics and promotion and overtime and all that stuff, because you know you're not staying.

I think this is exactly what I will do. I've already completely excused myself from the politics and any interpersonal issues that come up. They are not relevant (and I work with one particularly abhorrent racist/bigot) so I just don't even engage.
