I don't get this despair, what has changed? [View all]

Once 2016 was lost/stolen the court was gone, we knew it was going to be 5-4, granted now a stronger 5-4 with a much younger conservative judge than Kennedy,
Kavanaugh was sailing easily to confirmation until Ford heroically stood in the way, and ended up becoming a symbol for victims of abuse at the hands of drunk teens, men who have for generation in group behavior have dismissed women, "the Sleeping Giant" was already awake but is now roaring.

Enthusiasm is going to be high on both sides but remember there is more of us than there is of them even in their red enclaves there is pockets of blue that are going to come out, and oust a lot of Red incumbents
