In the groups who were most impassioned against the Kavanaugh nomination were women who had been victimized by sexual assault. The Democrats supported their cause and fought for them, and somehow, Trump was allowed to frame it as the Dems being an angry mob that should be feared if they get in power.
How was he allowed to do that by the media?

Looking for the real story was harder.
Senator Merkley up all night reading the letters from survivors in his state on the floor of the Senate. That could have been a story today.

Voting in the 2016 "election" didn't do anything.
