mercedes is a anarchist, but that doesn't explain why he thinks your parents are also anarchists. Jumping to conclusions there.
You are right; I have no way of knowing
why they don't vote.
Actually, the reason they dont is easy to explain, just not easy to understand. Mother is completely apathetic; there isnt an ounce of activist in her, despite her mother being a political junkie. Nothing strange about that, right? Wait for it.
Dad, my stepfather, genuinely believes that every vote is watched and recorded by them, or they, whoever they are, and at some nebulous point in the future revenge will be meted out for every vote not found in compliance with the grand plan for humanity.
Perhaps I should have posted this under the Conspiracy and Strange Belief thread.
