It was a beautiful sight to see so many women at my polling station at 6:00 AM this morning

Typically 20 people may be waiting at 5:45AM for my polling station to open at 6:00AM and it's almost exclusively male trades people on their way to work, but not today, there were probably 40 people and the majority were women and senior citizens

People are really pissed ... in a good way.

Damn sign-up/paywall, but you can see the 1st paragraph:

Whatever the precise outcome when votes are counted Tuesday night, the 2018 midterm campaign has represented the collision of two giant forces in American politics: President Trump and a newly energized cadre of Democratic women.
