Her memory suddenly came forth during the 2012 election cycle when there were a bunch of stories about Kavanaugh being a contender for SCOTUS if Romney won and a bunch of lefty blogs were going all gloom and doom. She then worked through it with her friends for years before she finally convinced herself and decided to do something.
Kavanaugh logged every day of his teenage life. There is no party fitting this description in his calendars. Ford can’t remember when it happened and didn’t remember THAT it happened for 30 years. She never wrote it down, never told anyone, and no one in her life noticed a change in behavior significant enough to figure out what was wrong. Not her parents, not her friends, no one. This is a night that, in hindsight, she says it was one of the biggest events of her life and says it ruined her life. That she changed for the worst for decades. But no one in her life noticed a change and made her tell them why?
Beyond that, she went on to earn a Ph.D., travel the world, live a full life. Live a life most would dream of. Doesn’t seem like someone who was ruined for life by a traumatic event.
She’s full of exaggeration, like her fear of flying. John Madden has a fear of flying. He took a bus everywhere. She has a fear when it’s convenient to have a fear. She’s 100% sure when it’s convenient.
I’m sorry, I wanted to believe her. But I don’t.
