1) Behold, the first, and the last, beneficiary of the storm of fake accusations tactic.

2) Its a clever little strategy to keep a candidate's hands clean. They let 'unaffiliated' operatives like journalists, lawyers, and Dem party strategists run these smear campaigns, while the candidates themselves just have to sit idle watching their opponents polls tick down.

3) One by one, accusation after accusation comes out from different sources all being supported by the same network of operatives, making it look like brave accusers stepping forwards independently when it was a well coordinated series of blows to maintain narrative tempo.

4) Whatever state you're in, you have to realize they will try this tactic, again and again and again. Swing states, blue state Dems, vulnerable congressional seats, wherever they think there is an opening to slip someone in who will further the Democrats power.

5) The Alabama race was not an issues race. It was a smear race. Doug Jones was an empty puppet for the Democrats to vote in lockstep with Go Chuck Yourself Schumer, and in an act of strategery, they decided to play to destroy his opponent.

6) That's right, smear campaigns are good strategery. Campaigning on your own merits is fine and dandy, but having cut-outs, having a network of proxies to attack your opponent and keep them on the defensive. Don't be better than your opponent. Make them worse than you.

7) That tactic failed here. The Democrats are overreaching, they're doubling down, they are reducing their own argument into absurdity. So what happened? What went wrong? It was a solid plan to defeat Kavanaugh, and in most other circumstances it would have worked. What happened?

8) I'm cribbing heavily off of @DroppedmicA's notes here. Refer to her account and her many threads on these topics if you want the specifics of the arguments I'm about to lay out, but she and conversations I've had with friends who are sexual assault survivors have convinced me:

9) The Democrats fucked up because this time they accidentally got a real victim.

10) Yeah, she's a partisan. Yeah, she's working as a researcher for a company producing an abortion drug and thus has a financial interest in not having Kavanaugh confirmed. So she LOOKED like a good tool for the Democrat proxy operatives to use. And, she came to the Dems!

11) But... something was weird, something was OFF about her.

See, every other accuser, those that went at Trump and those that went at Roy Moore, they obviously didn't buy their own bullshit. Their evidence was LOL-worthy and easily debunked

Remember the 2 inks of the yearbook?

12) But Ford BELIEVED her own story. Everything was carefully contructed around her by the Dem operatives, obviously, but she BELIEVED that specific bedroom incident had occurred.

13) Now as Mitchell, the special investigator of the GOP, had displayed during her questioning of Ford, all the details BEFORE and AFTER the incident were... extremely fuzzy. The specific altercation was clear, but everything else didn't have a lot of concrete details

14) Then, the map Mitchell produced made things even more abundantly clear.

Ford lived 20-30 minutes AWAY from the country club. How did she get to the club? How did she get home after she fled? Who did she reach out to for a ride?

What happened?

15) Question:

Did ANYONE hear from Ford's family? Not from her husbands side or her immediate family, of course. But her biological parents and her brother.

16) She admitted, and demonstrated quite clearly, she didn't really know much about hiring and dealing with lawyers, something that was obvious based on how her lawyers were treating her throughout this ordeal.

Both her biological brothers are lawyers. Does she not talk to them?

17) She told her therapist and her husband about the assault. She told friends and neighbors about her assault. But she NEVER told her parents. When asked if she had told them of the polygraph exam when she went to her grandmother's funeral, she reacted with the most emotion yet.

18) "Oh, GOD NO!"

19) She moves halfway across the country, and flies constantly, but she was anxious to fly east to her family. Think about all the flights that were talked about. She flew all the time... except back to her family in the northeast.

20) I said when this shitstorm was first beginning that she acted like a victim would be expected to act. From the minds of some truly crazy bitches did I dig and question and check with, and to them, her actions seemed... logical.

21) Now, logical to a sexual assault survivor might not be logical to all sexual assault survivors, or to people who aren't victims of such abuse, but she shared enough common behaviors in hypothetical situations that it seemed safe to assume she was a victim.

22) And THIS is where the Democrats fucked up.

They got that letter, and Feinstein said, 'Here, Ford, talk to this friendly lawyer Katz, she'll take care of you.'

She saw this letter, assumed it was bullshit, sat on it to use it as part of a storm of fake charges.

23) One glance at Ford's history is enough to convince someone she is a Dem partisan willing to throw down scurrilous accusations for the cause. And if that were the case then Ford would have been able to think rationally, play her part, take her gofundme payout and gtfo

24) Instead, Ford panicked upon seeing her accusations had been leaked, and Democrats accidentally made a victim out of an actual victim they thought was a fake victim.

One gigantic fuck up.

25) EVERYTHING we have seen from this point matches up best with reality when working from these assumptions.

Ford was a victim of abuse.
She mistakenly thought through the lens of being a partisan that Kav did it.
Dems thought she knew it was fake, used her anyways.

Dem operatives as soon as they realized the unpinned grenade they just picked up did everything they could to bury her and keep her out of the public eye.
The GOP saw what was happening and pulled in Mitchell, ONE OF THE TOP PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY FOR DEALING WITH VICTIMS OF ABUSE

27) This... this is what victory tastes like. This is what happens when you sit patiently and let your opponent make a mistake.

Ford, Mitchell, Grassley, Graham, and Kavanaugh's 10 year old daughter deserve every bit of praise for Kavanaugh's upcoming confirmation. But even more

28) They deserve our thanks for destroying the storm of accusers stratagem that gets empty sock puppets like Doug Jones elected.
