Today's protests make me wonder if these protesters even know what they are saying and doing. A few weeks ago, I saw a series of interviews on TV in which the reporter was at two protests against the newly nominated Secretary of Labor, Andrew Puzder. The reporter asked five protesters this question: "Who is Andrew Puzder?" None of the five could answer the question. One protester did say that the reporter should speak to the leader of the protest because perhaps he knew. In other words, these protesters had no idea about what they were supposedly protesting.
Today, we have thousands of people marching in DC and other places across the country. Without a doubt, some of them have some policy or another that President Trump has said he will adopt in mind in conduction their protests. For the most part, though, the protests are supposed just to be in support of "women's rights". One does have to wonder what specific rights are being threatened. In DC, the head of Planned Parenthood spoke because her organization may be defunded by the federal government now because of its alleged history of selling body parts of aborted babies, a federal criminal offense if proven true. I'm sure that the protesters are not marching to protect the right of abortionists to sell the aborted babies for a profit. No one supports that other than the ghouls who would do it.
So what women's rights are at stake? The truth is that the proper answer is NONE. For the entire presidential campaign, however, the Democrats acted as if the GOP nominee had threatened women's rights, but they never really said in what way that threat had happened. It was just all phony charges with no substance.
Hopefully, after six months of Trump as president, these women who are marching today will realize that they haven't lost any rights. I know that some won't accept that, but let's hope that most do.
Protest is fine, but protest for no reason other than upset at losing an election is both childish and a waste of time.
