I don't know what happened at Kavanaugh's high school and college parties, but I do know this, if you think these accusations are just manufactured in order to prevent his confirmation, you really have to answer this, "Why weren't accusations manufactured against Gorsuch?"
Maybe you have an answer, but if you don't or if it's not a convincing one, maybe you should drop that point. Our ability even to have this conversation is so strained by our collective stupor. Are we actually going to think? Or are we going to be cogs in a propaganda machine?
I’ll explain further what I mean here. The ONLY reason someone could give for people manufacturing allegations against Kavanaugh when they did not do so for Gorsuch is the fact that Kavanaugh’s appointment would move the court further right, bc he’s replacing Kennedy.
But while that was one difference between Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, and while our political moment may make one wonder if someone would manaufacture stories, that’s not enough to make it plausible to me.
What more would it take to make it plausible that the allegations — Ford’s, especially — are manufactured? At the very least, I’d have to believe that Ford would put her career, livelihood, family, and even life at risk, and that she also has a small group of...
friends, family, acquaintances who did the same, w/o anyone ever breaking news that the story has been faked. I’d need to think that AND acknowledge the momentousness of this appointment AND the toxicity of the political milieu in order to think these are manufactured allegations
