Is This Happening To You? [View all]

In my circle of friends and acquaintances, I'm the designated politically knowledgeable one and the go to person when they have questions or comments. It didn't happen often. Interest only peaked at election time and consisted of "Who should I vote for?". Since the election, I've been asked more questions from them about how to begin to get educated, informed and in a few cases, active. Our conversations are more often than not in a political nature now. The other day my sister who never votes and avoids all political talk of any kind, asked me if I liked Trump.

I assume most of us on DU are the designated political source in our little circles of friends so, have you all seen an increase of awareness among friends?
