There are two Kavanaugh nominations. Within America’s two big information universes, two unshakable narratives have taken hold. No matter how it turns out, these contradictory narratives will persist, doing lasting damage to the country. (THREAD)

Blue bubble's caught up in the partisan fight too. Kavanaugh's position on abortion today is evidence he committed attempted rape in high school. Other white, prep school, ivy league men have committed sexual assault, which makes him more suspect. He's more symbol than man. 10/x

In a little while, Kavanaugh will withdraw, get confirmed, or voted down. But the competing red and blue narratives about him will persist. The wounds will fester, no matter how it turns out. And the judicial wars will continue to escalate. The system cannot hold forever. (END)

PS1: Erick Erickson shared the 7th tweet of my thread (to disagree with it). His position, along with the replies to his tweet and mine, provide a good example of red bubble rejecting my argument (as I explained in tweet 8 above). https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/1044267025944793089 …

PS2: You'll notice a steadfast conviction that: 1) All accusations against Kavanaugh are false and invented by Dems 2) The same will happen with every future GOP nominee 3) Pointing out that no one accused Gorsuch, Alito, Roberts of sexual assault does not shake convictions 1 & 2

PS3: In the variations of "believe women" and "I believe Dr. Blasey Ford," blue bubble steadfastly believes Kavanaugh is guilty of sexual assault. These two competing narratives dominate their respective information bubbles. They cannot be reconciled and will linger for years.

I brought up the insurance on Kavanaugh to a Conservative friend, and asked why, with all the other qualified conservative judges? He responded "because you can't let the libs win", so I think your argument is quite valid

I've seen something similar in a lot of places.

Only one can be true. Either she(hasn't sworn under oath) or he and the other 4(have sworn under oath) are lying. The Dems will not allow anything or anyone to stop them from slaughtering the unborn babies of POC.

That's somewhat inaccurate. The 4 to which you refer say they don't remember anything like that. You're interpreting "I don't remember" as "I definitely remember and she's wrong." It's lack of corroboration, not an alibi. Possible Blasey Ford and those 4 are all telling the truth
