Ford herself did not even call him a rapist, and the other women were not credible.
Kavanaugh probably lied about some things. He was likely a prep school frat boy who got shit faced drunk at times and chased women. He probably grabbed a few asses or boobs at the hairiest parties, probably of women who were so drunk they did not remember. He probably woke up in bed a few times with women he did not remember taking there.
This is the experience of many, if not most college men, especially in that era. Hell, I woke up one time after passing out with a woman on top of ME. It was a rape of sorts, I suppose, but I figured that was not a bad way to wake up. That is one important difference between men and women. I can only guess how she sorted out the preliminaries.
And all the Democrats know this. They did it themselves. They watched it. The whole game is ridiculous and utterly and disgustingly hypocritical. Kavanaugh was combative and a bit disingenuous because that is how they set the rules of the game.
What I think all conservatives need to understand is that an essential element of the Alinskyan game is to get us to play by one set of rules while the Left plays by another.
They want us to value consistency, goodness, fairness, justice, honesty and all the other noble virtues which make America work.
But they themselves could give a flying fuck if they elect a racist serial killing rapist, if he is able to easily win reelection and support the Party. There are no standards. There is no morality.
And you can see easily how they win this game, over and over and over. They are not wrong in pointing out our imperfections, which they are able to do with a reliably partisan media. But they ARE wrong in using a double standard.
Who is OBVIOUSLY the worse person: Kavanaugh, who may or may not have done some stupid drunk teenage boy stuff, or Keith Ellison who, RECENTLY and documentably, beat up his woman, and terrified and threatened her? Who is in the news?
Republicans have been slow to reject our standards. We continue to believe in nobility, fair play, honor, consistency and the like, but it is hard to know how to win this game while retaining them. The Democrats likely forced Kavanaugh into some mild lies under oath.
The whole thing is very demonic. I don’t know the answer, other than that those few among them who retain some residual decency rejecting their game, rejecting their methods, and rejecting their party. I only see massive and continuing electoral gains by the Republicans as a way of eroding, gradually, this abusive system built up carefully over so many decades, and which was put in place as a national standard by Obama, who by all accounts was and remains one of the most ardent students of Alinsky, and best practitioners of his methods.
