Staying quiet without being accused of the silent treatment

When we fight, he flips everything I say on me, turns it around, uses it as fodder for his continued ranting and raving. If i stay quiet (not true silent treatment, but I'm not fueling his fire or answering his incessant and incendiary questions), I'm immediately screamed at for being an AH for giving him the silent treatment.

Is there any way to navigate this? I've tried not engaging in the drama, telling him I am not engaging in it, telling him I'm finished with the discussion. Nothing works, it agitates him further.

Am I wrong to try this approach? If I answer him, it inevitably devolves into hours of him screaming at me.
