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)

I appreciate your insight. If both sides can't find common ground - wait for the evidence to convict or clear Kavanaugh - and he's voted down or confirmed, the bubbles entrench. If he withdraws, both sides could wipe the slate clean and deal with a new nominee or entrench anyway.

They'll entrench anyway somewhat (about everything). But I think it would play out differently if the nominee were someone who is squeaky-clean in his personal life (like Roberts or Gorsuch), especially if it's a woman.

With Kavanaugh defiant in his latest letter - "these are smears, plain and simple," both sides surely will entrench, but there a handful of Senators are sitting on the fence. They will choose who gets the victory in this fight. No easy way out.
