My early voting experience in Drumpf country

So, I've got decals on my rear window of the vehicle: USN, Vietnam, Vote Democratic. Driving into the parking lot, I locked eyes onto a monster RED pickup with two Drumpf flags on the back. It was parked backed-in, such that the driver would have to see whatever was parked next to it. I didn't take a lick to decide where I was going to park - next to it, head-to-toe, natch. When I was through voting the Drumpfster was gone, so he (it *would* be a "he" ) must have seen it. My Navy/Viet decals ensure they won't bash in the window.

If it ain't obvious, I enjoy sticking it to them, as minor and futile as it is. I always wear my Navy ball cap anyway, but when voting it is an indispensable item, plus to protest the wingnut voting restrictions my *passport*. At the Primaries, where the Parties are segregated, I mutter under my breath in the general direction of the Repukes, "Because I feel I'm in a foreign country."

There was a smallish queue and the milling around exiting ones, mostly either scowling or zealously determined - sure signs of Drumpfsters.

These Trumpers are mimicking ISIS and the Taliban. Terrorists all.

Are there not rules that such things cannot be displayed within so many yards of the voting premises?
