Jesus, this is even worse than I had seen in the past. These Trump vehicles are clearly harassing and surrounding the bus and that black truck is trying to get into the chase position. This is something you shouldn't see in a first-world country. You can very clearly see the Trump truck swerving left into the car. That driver needs to be under arrest. Other reports indicated that the Trump caravan was trying to drive the Biden bus off the road [1] The driver apparently bragged about it on Facebook as well ("that was me slamming that f_cker") [2] Regardless of who is at fault, a collection of Trump supporters were harassing the bus of their opponent TRAVELING ON A ROAD, using their vehicles.

I can see how you would interpret it that way if you don't pay attention to lane crossings. But the white SUV crossover is merging into the truck and the truck has nowhere to go...so it pushed back. What would you have done? Decelerated rapidly? Physical contact was made no matter what the black truck driver did. As for the driver bragging about it, so what? He did slam into the vehicle trying to push him off the road. All the Trump vehicles were stopped in the video you linked. I think we should focus on the actual video of the incident, it helps keep us honest.

  I wouldn't have been tailgating a political opponent, that's for sure. Slowing down would have been a smart move. Leaving an appropriate length behind that bus would have been a smart move. What I see in a video are a bunch of Trump supporters attempting to intimidate a political opponent. If that doesn't terrify you, you might be too far gone.

  Your pains to defend outrageously fascist behavior by the drivers supporting Trump is terrifying to me. I even agree with you that the white car crossed into the right lane, but the idea that this discussion is about whether that car crossed the lane or not is psychotic. Zoom out just a minute. Before you have any cars crossing any lanes, you’ve got a caravan of cars for one political candidate aggressively flanking and boxing in a bus for the other candidate and trying to intimidate any drivers associated with that campaign. That is so deeply, deeply wrong and horrific. There is utterly no excuse for it. How can you not see that by acting as if there is any semblance of a legitimate discussion to be had about the microscopic details of the white car changing lanes that could in any way mitigate the horrific election interference that the black car and others are perpetrating, you are yourself literally (not hyperbole) tacitly supporting fascist repression of fair electoral processes. Your comments here are disturbing to a literally violent degree.
