This is beginning to change slowly, as a lot of guys are beginning to fight back; but, doing this at a political level brings a whole other aspect of being railroaded; as, Dems want the charges to be true, and will believe them with absolutely NO evidence, such as this dust-up with Kavanaugh. They are becoming bolder because the various types of media will always believe them.
