[Vanity]: Have any fellow Freepers been accosted or otherwise mistreated for showing Trump paraphernalia?
1/28/20 | maceman

Posted on 01/28/2020 12:47:19 PM PST by Maceman

A Trump paraphernalia store recently opened up here in Bellingham, MA (about 45 minutes SW of Boston), so I decided to check it out.

They had all kinds of really cool Trump stuff, and I bought a Trump 2020 magnetic bumper sticker. I did have concerns about getting my car keyed (I drive a leased car). But I figured I'd take a chance.

I live in an apartment complex, went outside to the complex parking lot the next morning, it had already been STOLEN! (There are to other cars in that lot with anti-Trump stickers displayed for the last two years or so).

Anyway, I'm just curious - have any of my fellow Freepers had any sort of experience where displaying or wearing Trump paraphernalia resulted in theft, vandalism, being verbally accosted or worse - physically assaulted?

If so, please share your experience, and if you're not too shy, mention in which state you are located.

Thanks.

I’m not a well conditioned 35 year old any more...that was 40 years ago! Since I probably couldn’t beat ‘em I’d have to kill ‘em. Then I’d be in prison.

Get thee a T-shirt with this wording on it:

We went to the Sticks Reunion car show in Wind Gap, Pa. last year and there was a guy whose vendor space was loaded with Trump hats. They were $5.00 and business was brisk. My wife bought one and wears it around our rural area in N.J. So far only thumbs up to her.

Is that the best response you can come up with?

Actually - YOU begged for my response by invading my thread with such a useless, petty comment.

I have started to wear my MAGA and USA hats more FRequently of late. So far, so good.

HST, I ALWAYS sit with my back to the wall when I wear either of them into a restaurant.

Neither Mrs. Taxman nor I have any Trump bumper stickers on our cars. Learned my lesson about what assholes the LIEberals REALLY are a few years ago — my RR tire got ice-picked when John Effing Kerry was the LIEberal candidate.

Had to buy two new tires! The anti-Kerry sticker came off my Caddie that night!

And I learned my lesson - LIEberals are cowardly assholes, and will trash your vehicle if you are not around.

I often wish I were 6’5” tall! And built like Jack Reacher!

I’d wear a MAGA hat but red is REALLY not my color.

I’ll wear a small inconspicuous pin I got recently in support of Trump. As far as my car, if it is going to be parked in public, even here in Texas, I’ll let it remain as anonymous as possible.

Sorry your new bumper sticker got stolen so quickly. I generally do not put political statements on my car as there are too many crazies about.

Here in conservative North Idaho, seeing something like the car below really makes me angry. Yet, this bastard is totally unafraid to show his love and support of communism. This is a very polite place and I'm sure nothing will happen to him. It just galls me how "liberals" can be so lawless and intolerant, yet conservatives tolerate any amount of crap from liberals.

The funny thing is the car has a "K27" bumper sticker in the window. K27 was the badge number for Coeur d'Alene Police Department Sgt. Greg Moore who was killed in the line of duty on May 5, 2015 while working to keep our community safe. Sgt. Moore was the first and only Coeur d'Alene officer killed in the line of duty.

As a way to honor Sgt. Moore's sacrifice and to honor all law enforcement officers, the Coeur d'Alene community set out to create the K27 Memorial in McEuen Park as a way for residents and visitors to remember and meditate on the sacrifices made by our men and women in blue. The resulting memorial is beautiful:

How in the world can a person who supports COMMUNISM also be a supporter of the police and honor a fallen officer? It makes no sense.

My husband and I go to Bolivar Peninsula in the summer. You can drive or camp on the beach. Lots of vehicles fly Trump signs. Pretty neat!

I'm happy with it.

YOUR thread? You mean this vanity thread posted as news?

My, you seem to have a bit of entitlement working.
YOUR thread indeed.

I'm not begging for your response, but I'm sure to be amused by it.

What else do you own besides this thread?

A buddy of mine was stopped and asked about his red hat. He stood there being taunted for a few mins. After being insulted snd called a racist NAZI, He Smiled and said, “boys, do you think today is a good day for me to test my conceal carry license?” He said the both ran like hell calling him a bunch of ‘f’bomb names. The real joke is he wasnt packing.

I live in Wyoming and I have a Trump sticker on my Yukon Denali. I also carry a .45 and for some reason no one ever bothers me about the Trump sticker.

It is hard, but ignore him. Some people consider themselves very important in correcting others for even insignificant things. Some people say it is because they are inadequate in other respects if you get my drift.

Takes all kinds for something or some reason. Whoever said that also thinks diversity is our strength.

Yeah, that’s nice.
Since nobody can tell what you mean most of the time.

Best guess is that you think Donald Surtherland is somehow
indicative of blogs stealing stuff and trying to get traffic.

I’ve no clue how that is supposed to work, but right back atcha, chief.
