You know what, I've only put myself into this thread because of the Left's heinous treatment of Kavanaugh in this PROCESS. It is not a process.
It is a concerted effort on the Left's part to do anything and everything they can to block the Supreme Court from bending back towards the right due to a Supreme being nominated by and confirmed for Trump.
So you don't believe it is possible that
deep state gamesmanship crap is taking place. I hope you're right. I frankly don't make it my hobby to dig into it. BTW, we're similar in our beliefs based upon what you revealed about yourself. I place myself as a moderate conservative with an emphasis on the two things you noted: fiscal responsibility and personal freedom and self-reliance (responsibility).
People from the far Right and the far Left bother me. They're extreme, obviously, by default. What happened in Charlottesville was terrible.
Loony leftist activist idiots who harass people while they're trying to have dinner or whatever is a great example of a new low for our society.
You mentioned the (theoretically) peaceful protest. There is nothing peaceful about those
leftist activists who confront and scream their drivel at people, just as there is nothing peaceful about an idiot mowing people down with a car. At least my brain seems to process what I see as being well past "peaceful" and dare I offer "productive" protests. In short, there is way too much misguided emotion and passion on both ends of the political spectrum now; these people are too lathered up.
As I noted, it isn't my hobby to attempt to track potential conspiracies, but it doesn't take much time to find compelling reporting about the potential for it:

George Soros is one evil SOB. His vision for the United States is dreadful.
The country seems very split these days and it appears to be on a track that will only lead to a wider fracture. And the Democrats, in particular in this case, made a mockery of a process that otherwise should have gone much more smoothly. It certainly has cost a very good man his reputation and it has put he and his family through hell. And she is clearly getting exposed now. The two front doors nonsense. The fear of flying nonsense. At the very least, to the extent we've learned anything else since last Thursday, it's that Kavanaugh's testimony, as supported by his behavior and actions throughout his career, appears to be more credible than her testimony.
Do you honestly believe that she would serve jail time if her story fell short? This appears to be a situation where certain people knew going in that it was going to come down to "he said" / "she said." Her attorneys coached her through her response stream. Where's the risk in that for your premise? She'll probably end up with a book deal out of all this. Kavanaugh will end up on the court. And they'll both probably have to live rather uncomfortable existences for a while.
