I’m worried.

I was very much looking forward to congressional Republicans taking a drubbing in the coming mid-term elections. Most pollsters had the Democrats winning back the House and even gave them a chance of taking the Senate.

But then liberal Democrats declared war on Trump’s supreme court pick, Brett Kavanaugh. They threw every thing they could dig up against this nominee. But they lost. Kavanaugh will be confirmed tomorrow.

Was it worth it?

Liberals will say it was. They will say it was worth destroying a man’s career and his family if it prevented conservatives from establishing a clear majority on the court.

I honestly doubt that most liberals would shed tear for Brett Kavanaugh, his wife, or his children even if they found out for certain that he was innocent. After all, what is the suffering of one man compared to the suffering of tens of thousands of women if Kavanaugh is the deciding vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade?

But I fear that the nakedly partisan, brutal, downright vicious behavior of liberals may turn off voters in the middle, the very voters that Democrats need to win in November. Neither liberals nor conservatives can govern this country without the support of the majority of the middle. Trump’s abominable behavior over the last two years had driven these moderate voters into the arms of the Democrats. November was going to bring a massive “blue wave”; a huge Democratic victory; a victory that would allow Democrats to counter Trump’s compulsive, unpredictable, compulsive behavior…and maybe even impeach him.

But will these moderate voters now look at Democrats with the same trepidation as they do Trump? Will they fear giving control of our country to yet another group of rabid, angry partisans; partisans who see anyone who disagrees with him or her as evil; partisans who believe that those who disagree with them deserve to be viciously attacked and destroyed?

I wonder…and worry.
