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.

You really need a hobby.
If you want to talk smack about someone, why not address them directly?
If you’re scared say you’re scared.
What is stopping you from directly addressing the subject of your criticism?
What's wrong with this one?
LOL!!!!
I only get compliments on my Trump caps.
Ad hoc citizen sponsored sting operations could make for a fun weekend. Get some buddies, a video camera, set a trap and bust them peckerwoods. Citizen’s arrest could be a new YouTube genre right there.
OK. YOU pewee.
I also can’t stand drunks, degenerates, druggies and other insane persons.
Have a nice day.
I live near Dallas Texas and started wearing a “2020 Keep American Great” cap in this month. All I have gotten so far is “Like your hat”.
Several years ago I bought a retro T-Shirt with “Regan Bush” on it. I went to eat with friends one night and they were freaked that our food would be sauced with spit. I never wore it again.
I guess you are mostly alone on the holidays, huh?
Sometimes I guess your family can be a disappointment.
Sad, that.
I have a magnetic Trump 2020 my wife won’t let me put on my car for fear of vandalism.
I’m in New York Putnam county.
Frankly I feel it is not worth the grief especially if I caught them in the act as I tend to have a short fuse. On a car I had long ago, I used to have a sign that said: put your hand on this car and that is where it is going to stay. I meant it.
Nothing bad firsthand, but an older fellow at a Rt.95 rest stop(VA or MD...didn’t notice, we were focused on making time)had a Trump hat on sitting at a table. The 20 minutes we were there many of us stopped and shook this man’s hand, didn’t see anything ill toward him.
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.
Commies LOVE police that are on their side.
Commies love police, when they are commie police. They needs lots and lots of cops for the concentration camps and summary executions.
My ‘deplorable’ t-shirt throws ‘em WAY off.
As a natural born American citizen, I own my life. Everything else is gravy (and none of your business, I might add.)
As for your opinion, here's a suggestion for what you can do with it going forward.
Don’t feed the beast. Somedaqy, like A+bert, the arrogantgunner will get zotted and be only a memory.
