I have been in a situation that a person was spreading ugly lies about me. You are pretty helpless in a situation like that because you can neither control what the person is saying or what others might believe of what that person is saying. Anybody who didn't like me or was competing with me or whatever could choose to capitalize on the smear and spread it.

Smearing political opponents is all the DNC can now do because debating policy would be an abject failure for them, because their policies are all now insane.
It’s no coincidence that every time Donald Trump taps another person for his administration, a list of allegations against that person soon follows.
Pete Hegseth, Trump’s DOD nominee, is currently battling a storm of smears ranging from old sexual assault allegations that were deemed false to an alleged drinking problem corroborated by 10 anonymous witnesses.
Conservative talk show host Megyn Kelly recently sat down with Hegseth to discuss the smears brought against him since his nomination.
Dave Rubin plays a clip of their conversation.
“Do you think you’re being Kavanaughed right now?” Kelly asked.
“I had a member not 45 minutes ago look me in the eye in private, just he and I, and say, ‘That's what they're trying to do to you. ... That's their playbook. Get ready for more, and they're going to make it up, just like they have so far — all anonymous, all innuendo, all rumor, nothing sourced, no verification, and they're just going to keep doing it because you're a threat to them,”’ Hegseth recounted.
He told Kelly that he knows that this is all true. He is being Kavanaughed because he’s “a threat to [the swamp’s] system.”
However, he plans to do exactly what Brett Kavanaugh did — fight back.
“Kavanaugh stood up, and he fought, and he won,” said Hegseth. “What you’re seeing right now with me is the art of the smear.”
Dave respects Hegseth’s determination to fight the system that’s attempting to destroy him.
“If we've learned anything in the last decade, it’s don't give into the lies,” he says, pointing to Jordan Peterson’s advice — “Don’t apologize unless you’ve done something wrong.”
Those who know me, especially those who have known me for a very long time know the lies are lies, and that helps a lot. But it is still a very uncomfortable situation to be in when it is your word against somebody else's.
Dirty politics have turned the technique into an artform and it it pretty much a given that especially if the target is younger and , it is probable he will be accused of sexual misconduct. And women will be paid or otherwise encouraged to accuse him. It is more effective than the racist schtick. You can pretty much depend on it. And those who want him to fail will gleefully join the chorus of accusers. And it becomes his word against theirs
This is because we now have a culture without principle, ethics, morals, integrity. Sexual accusations have become a socially acceptable way to ruin people you don't like, however dishonestly it is done. And I think there should be special places in hell reserved for those who participate in it.
