Clay Travis: "There isn't anything worth protesting in America today."

Is that a healthy environment for our democracy? When millions of people, including some of the most talented people in our industry, live in fear of saying what they actually think about political issues for fear of losing their jobs? The left wing doesn't understand it, but they are the reason Donald Trump got elected. It wasn't racist Trump supporters -- election data shows that in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, the three Big Ten states that Donald Trump flipped this year to win the election, Trump actually flipped Obama voters to his side -- it was middle of the road people, voters who supported Obama but switched to Trump, fed up with the left wing's intolerance of ideas or thoughts or Tweets or Facebook posts that aren't also left wing. That's what won the election for Trump.

The women's march was a broken gathering led by a bedraggled cast of leftist losers in pink hats who are desperately searching for a reason for social justice warriors to still exist even when there is none. Stop with your Roe v. Wade arguments. First, Roe v. Wade isn't being overturned. And if it were overturned, individual states would still be able to allow abortions. Abortion, meanwhile, continues to decline each year -- 2016 saw the fewest abortions of any year since 1973 -- because birth control is becoming more effective and widely available. (For the record, I'm pro choice. But the histrionics over abortion in this country are hopelessly outdated.) Second, if Roe v. Wade were ever overturned do you know who would really be to blame? Probably Ruth Bader Ginsburg since the 83 year old multiple cancer surviver and oldest Supreme Court justice eschewed fervent pleas to step down and allow her seat to be replaced by another liberal jurist during Barack Obama's two terms. Given her age and less than stellar health she's now is in danger of being replaced by a conservative jurist during Trump's term. So if you're a left winger and you want to march against someone for endangering reproductive rights, you should march against Ruth Bader Ginsburg, not Donald Trump.

These marches and social justice fights are getting increasingly pathetic. The left wing has moved so far left that its biggest battles in this country are over bathroom bills for transgender people. That's despite the fact that there has been no issue with people using whichever bathroom they want to use for multiple generations all over this country. The left has what I like to call, protest envy. They're so envious of the times when legitimate wrongs existed in this country that they're desperately thirsty for controversy. To wit, we've got millions of people who spent their Saturday marching not to combat any actual rights issues, but just to let you know that if there are rights issues that arise in the future they're going to be there to ensure that their rights remain there. If you really want to fight for women's rights, the United States shouldn't be your battlefield. Women are free and equal here. Travel overseas and start fighting in countries where women really don't have rights. But, you know, that's dangerous. Bad things might happen to you there. If you're a protester and you aren't risking your life or your liberty, guess what, you aren't really a protester. You're just someone who wants a good selfie background for social media.
