I don't know if it's true that almost all (D)s believe Ford and almost all (R)s don't. I wasn't sure myself until I watched her entire testimony for myself. It *did* seem a bit too coincidental that she showed up when she did. I suspect if "most (R)s" had watched her -- live, not a few sound bits or an edited video later -- they might have also found her credible.
There is some truth to that, but it appears to be far more true of those on the right than of those on the left. For instance, I know many voters -- some in my own family -- who didn't even bother to vote in 2016 because they were so opposed to Clinton that even the prospect of a Trump presidency wasn't enough to sway them. A few were angry at the DNC for choosing her over Sanders, as well, and stayed home. In the three years since, I have yet to hear any (R) say that they did not vote because of their opposition to Trump.I don't think it is an accusation but just an accurate description of partisan politics today. We are so strongly attached to our group that our beliefs are determined by that group. Social psychology asks people how they feel about a particular issue. If told their party takes the opposite stand on that issue many people change their position to coincide with their party.
"Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals." -- Mark Twain
