Are Young People Really This Ignorant...

Well, was this meant sarcastically or seriously?

I would tend to doubt someone attempting to spin that as sarcasm - and I'm frequently sarcastic.

She did say it was sarcasm (in addition to deleting it).

But the treatment that Kavanaugh repeatedly received from Democrats and the MSM which was by many magnitudes far worse was perfectly acceptable, right?

With respect to parties, I frankly don't think either side was particularly effective or balanced in their treatment. Democrats showed themselves perfectly willing to jump on Kavanaugh without adequate evidence, and Republicans to jump on Ford without adequate evidence. The media was all over the map. Fox and Brietbart and the like were happy to jump on Ford and defend Kavanaugh. Mother Jones and CNN and the like were happy to jump on Kavanaugh and defend Jones. Other outlets, those closer to center, were a bit more balanced in their reporting.

All in all, not exactly our most shining moment as a nation. For myself, I still saw nothing to push me off the "I don't know" position. There were concerning statements and testimony from both sides. If I have a reason for not wanting Kavanaugh on the bench - it has to do with a) his amazingly juvenile performance during his post-Ford hearing, and b) my concerns about the court slipping to the right and losing the balance it once had. I have no position on the accusations against him since those have nowhere near been settled, IMO.
