Hard to tell.
The whole Kavanaugh thing blew up in the Democrats' faces because they tried to lob baseless accusations against a basically honorable man using nothing but a decades old memory with zero evidence whatsoever, smearing him and ruining his life in front of his wife and whole family. Kavanaugh represented every White man ever unfairly smeared and attacked by the Left solely for being a White man. What's more, their manner of doing it was to take the most sacred single value of our society for centuries-- the due process of law, innocence until proven guilty, which protects every single human being-- and trample it before their feet. Of course that wasn't going to end well. Anyone could have seen that.
This time, I think the Democrats can mitigate some of that damage if they don't repeat those mistakes. Instead, they could focus on the policy implications of a right wing Court-- such as ACA being struck down, and so on. Things that people might not like and might impact them directly. That might help them relative to 2018.
