Nov. 8 fell like a shattering mirror before the Republican Party.In Linn County, like most other places, voters either were energized or left reeling from six years of Trump-effect politics, and the midterms showed there very much are two sides to one Grand Old Party.Experts and party insiders say a voter's closeness to a larger city, or how deep they are into social media, likely dictates which version of Republican they see reflected back at them.In Albany, two longtime incumbents lost their seats to make way for a younger, more diverse city council.
