When i first started dating my wife, she wasn't really into politics. It turns out it was because her entire family has been involved with communists since the 1900s and my politics is normal in her family.

What a twist!? Was she a staunchly communist too?!

She is, but she very much is not a particularly focused one. Her education is in animals and environmental sciences, not political theory. It was very funny, though, because i remember having a conversation with her where i remember complaining about something (not exactly sure what, this was years ago), and she mentioned i sounded like her grandparents. I didn't know what she meant, and then she showed some pictures from her family album. There must've been a hammer and sickle every three pictures.

Holy shit. That's actually a good twist
