I will be very cynical and say that the slice of the electorate that votes on civil liberties is just not big enough to swing national elections. In particular anyone who agreed with the ACLU on national security knew that Kavanaugh was completely unacceptable but you had to read things like Scotusblog or Lawfare to understand that. Abuse of the Title IX process feeds into broad narratives of group rights vs. individual rights.
