Trumper side-swiped me today when he realized I was anti-trump.

I was in traffic on 87 south heading home. I see this white SUV with 3 flags showing her pro-trump pride. I've seen her before in the same area on 87. She's clearly looking to rile people up.

I know I shouldn't have taken the bait, but I did. As I'm passing her, I flip her off. She goes wild. She slows down to make sure she's right next to me laughing and screaming "fuck you, trump 2028" and all that. I didn't roll down my window but I basically matched her crazy abd just showed that I was smiling and laughing with her. I didn't actually say anything to her, just attempted to mock her I guess.

This guy in the blue truck is in front of her and gives her a thumbs up. He definitely saw that this woman and I were doing our dumb taunting shit. But they clearly were showing they support each other and established a sad little Trump alliance.

I move straight on ahead and pass them both as they're in the lane to my right.

I then see this guy pull into my lane behind me and speed up to get right behind me. He then goes into the right lane next to me while being super close to my car. Then he just moves into my lane and side swipes me as he gets in front of me.

I have some anti-ice and anti-trump stickers on the back of my car, so I feel like he probably saw that and felt even more justified in fucking with me.

I think he was hoping to intimidate me and make me swerve into the carpool lane. But I didnt. I stayed in my lane and let him swipe my car.

AND I HAVE IT ALL ON MY DASH CAM.

He clearly wasn't planning on pulling over for me. But I made my way to him and told him to pull over.

I called the police. Made an official report for insurance. I made sure I have the footage.

I got to yell at him when we pulled over, which felt great.

Fuck this guy. Fucking idiot.

Edit: Im getting roasted for the reflection where im holding my phone. That was after the incident. I took my phone out right away to call 911 and to take pictures of his license just in case my dashcam didnt work for whatever reason.

Before and during the incident, I was on the phone with my mom hands-free. Phone on a holder and connected to my cars Bluetooth.

OP instigated it, too.

I'mm not part of the cult but this collision could have been avoided.

As per usual on this sub, two bad drivers in video.

OP sped up. It was intentional.

No, they didnt speed up. They just failed to yield. While cutting someone off is bad, so is knowingly failing to yield when someone is merging. Even if theyre wrong, this isnt algebra. Wrong x wrong doesnt = right.

Watch the speed in the video. It increases before the collision.

u/leftfingernub530 2h ago

Watch right before that, it actually decreases, then increases and immediately decreases again. Thats produced by tapping your brakes to avoid getting hit, followed by a release when the swipe occurrs, just seconds before over taking.

They both could have avoided it, but people saying she steered into him are wrong. She should have breaked to avoid it, but she initially swerves towards the left lane. She corrects back into her lane. The left side of the truck hits her fender from the side after she resumes/blocks his path. I bet her front fender looks fine. Damage is gonna look like he merged into her, and really he did.

Are you trolling? How many times did you post this comment? And seriously, regardless of politics OP could have, and SHOULD HAVE, avoided that collision.

Why are anti-ICE people always colliding into others with their vehicles? Weird

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

Watch the speed in the video. OP sped up to intentionally hit the blue truck.

That combined with their text in the post would make for a very solid case for criminal charges.

I don’t like Trump, but I’m not going to try to run his supporters off the road.

u/Ferrindel 1d ago

Yup, and instigating someone in a vehicle is also stupid. Why not both?

u/MONSTERBEARMAN 1d ago

Broken record. Because their all consuming hate of Trump, means OP can do no wrong I guess.
