    This is admittedly anecdotal, but I’ve heard from several of my center-right friends today who are turned off by the Left’s attacks on Kavanaugh & Cruz. As a result, they have started solidly supporting them both.

        Oh?! Well then, by all means, every person of conscience should give up their principles & support a perjurious drunk misogynist for a lifetime seat on the highest court. Let's ignore that there are 1000s of possible GOOD candidates who don't want to create a Mafiya monarchy.

        50+% of female or POC Americans should give up their dreams of furthering Respect, Equality, & Freedom to please your anecdotal anonymous minority & return to their rightful status of chattel so well established in the Dark Ages. Kavanaugh must reinstate it for them. Got it...

        “Centrist” friends start supporting fringe obstructionist right candidates after valid criticisms are levied against them. 🤔

        “Center-right” is the most absurd, flimsy, fake-ass label, made up by right-wingers who want to publicly be seen as not Trumpers but privately agree with every terrible thing the right supports. It’s just a mechanism for trying to deflect blame for their shitty opinions. C’mon.

        Right-wingers love to play victim and pretend they’ve been “forced” into their shitty views, they’ve been doing it for years and we all see right through it. Own your garbage politics, stop making excuses. No one “made” anyone support shitty right-wing ideas, FFS

        That's why political affiliation isn't a protected class legally. You nailed it... it's a choice.

        The endless victimization is just mind-boggling. It’s a constant that runs to the entire core of their ideology. And the ones on the centrist fringes think they can use it to have their socially acceptable intellectual conservative cake but eat their Breitbart cake too. I call BS

        So the key is for people towards the left to never take a moral stance for fear of pushing milquetoast centrists rightward? This sounds bizarre.

        Also isn't it a bit of a mischaracterization to blame the left for Kavanaugh's woes? His young adult indiscretions are really to blame for the scrutiny. If right-centrists support Kavanaugh MORE because they don't like reckoning....should bad conduct be ignored??

        it's always someone else's fault, right? please tell your friends (from me) that perhaps they should make & own their own decisions instead of blaming and hiding behind other, braver folks in order to make themselves feel more comfortable supporting liars and cheats.

        I also would like to know your center-right friends thoughts about no hearings for Merrick Garland.? Unlike Brett Kavanaugh, Merrick Garland did not drink to excess while illegally drinking alcohol as an underage minor nor committed any sexual misconduct. #SCOTUS.pic.twitter.com/gebstHvX7e
