Far from sinking the nomination, this is an opportunity for people to experience how radical and anti-experience the #MeToo “movement” is.
Sex is fraught with ambiguity. This is everyone’s experience, without exception (we all know this).
There is no man alive who, as a teenager, didn’t awkwardly boot a few ground balls and swing and miss at a few pitches before hitting his first home run.
So, in interpreting a story like this one (and I presume something like this actually happened), you have to use probability.
1) Kavanaugh is a sexual predator, a rapist, and he selected a random victim and attacked her (OK, at a “party”), and has never done that again after age 17 (or we would surely know of it). Probability .000001
2) He’s a normal man, who was once a boy, and while trying to decipher the eternal question of “what does this female behavior mean (does she want it?)” made a mess of things and, in the end, nobody was harmed but two kids felt bad. Probability 99.999990.
The thing is, what these leftist dummies do not seem to grasp, is that their preferred narratives, like #1 here, do not correspond with anyone’s lived experience, and the attempt to force people to conform to anti-experience is creating enormous tension which, when it breaks, will bring down their cloud castles, probably violently.
The most likely hypothesis is that the “disclosure” is a fabrication.
The manner and timing of the “disclosure” rules out taking it seriously in any case.
Or 3. It’s made up of whole cloth, a vicious, evil, satanic lie concocted by satan’s children. Probability: 200%
