I may be in New York, but the Northeast - where I am - is traditionally Republican. But people are talking about what's going on - it comes up all the time with people and situations where it never did before. Once people know I follow politics, I'm constantly getting an earful. It's gotten that bad that people are noticing - and that would be a good thing - but the reason is horrible. 
We're lucky to have good senators - and Kirsten Gillibrand used to be my congresswoman. But we now have one of the worst - a Ryan acolyte who has supported Trump most of the time. However, people are taking notice and there have been numerous protests - especially since she has been avoiding constituents, wasn't even publicizing her schedule until after the fact to avoid the protesters.
We had a Democrat step up for 2018 soon after the last election - and now there are a good half dozen who have declared - and this is in an area that for years didn't even bother to field a Democratic candidate - until Kirsten Gillibrand ran in 2006. What I'd like to know is where all these angry people were last November.
