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.

So you too are afraid to address directly the subject of your criticism.
Wow. Look at you, so scared.
Hey, look, this crap thread has been placed in “Chat”.
Gosh, I guess that makes me right.
That must suck for you.
~~~Id have left a note. Your tip has been tripled and generously donated in your name to the Trump re-election campaign.~~~
What a good idea! I’m gonna have to remember to do that, if the need arises.
No, it doesn’t suck at all. I’m happy with 83 replies.
Not Trump Paraphernalia, but I did have my “Hillary for Prison” sign stolen in 2016.
I agree with you. Absolutely the worst thing about Free Republic.
I live in deep blue Maryland, albeit in a reddish area. I wear Mage and KAG hats frequently. I’ve gotten dirty looks but never any comments, except lots of Nice Hat.
Earlier this week I got a Nice Hat from a 20 year old black kid at Wal-Mart. That was exciting.
Like so many things, you take the bitter with the sweet.
"It just galls me how "LIEberals" can be so lawless and intolerant, yet conservatives tolerate any amount of crap from LIEberals."
By the way, you misspelled "LIEberal!"
LOL!
Heh... nice
Or rather leave a car full of explosives with Trump stickers all over it monitored with a drone and has a remote switch!
Hmmmmm
Am I crazy or is there an inordinate amount of blue in the OK/CO/NM area?
“A Trump paraphernalia store”
Is this a thing?
Is there some kind of network or franchise setting up these shops all over the country?
Where can I get to my nearest one?
