(38,339 posts)It doesn't have anything to do with the person they are picking on. Such encounters with Trump supporters can be considered random shit. It's almost certainly for the best your daughter did not respond in kind.
My battered salvage title mid-eighties car screams "don't fuck with the crazy guy" which I probably shouldn't be proud of, but I haven't experienced any road rage directed at me for a long, long time. I don't get angry at other drivers, even when they do something silly like bumping into me in a parking lot, or something dangerous like an unsafe lane change. But heck yeah, overly aggressive drivers unhinged have sometimes scared me.
Anger and driving are a bad mix. There's a lot of people out on the roads who voted for Trump because they are always angry, an anger which is often fueled by hate radio and television.
