Stop Destroying Civilization!
Victor Davis Hanson
In the #MeToo years, the Left's signature slogan was "Believe all women!"
That directive was used to bolster Christine Blasey Ford's preposterous and easily refuted 2018 allegations that some 35 years earlier she had been sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, when both were teenagers.
Two years later, the Left quietly junked that "Believe women!" credo when Tara Reade came forward and lodged a far more credible charge that 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her when she was a Biden senatorial staffer.
Seven other women alleged that Biden acted toward them in sexually inappropriate ways. The Left more or less ignored these serial charges, and in Reade's case, demonized her. Suddenly, the new mantra was "Believe women only if they prove useful to the Left."
Since then, the grotesque sexual misconduct involving Democratic politicians—from New York governor Andrew Cuomo to California Congressman Eric Swalwell—has finally put #MeToo to rest. We were reminded of its demise when it was revealed that Maine senatorial candidate and socialist heartthrob Graham Platner had been discovered to possess a long social media history of crude and pornographic put-downs of women.
Indeed, an entire gaggle of former girlfriends has attested to his Nazi fascinations, his contempt for women, and his occasional physical violence against them.
So what?
