I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    The same thing happened after 9/11 and lasted for months. People were stressed, upset and angry and it really showed up in their driving.

    We now have the Republicans and their malignant narcissist glorious leader actively destroying this country. Medical costs, housing and grocery prices (among other things) are completely out of control and keep getting worse and Trump claims affordability is a “hoax” while adding more tariffs. Nearly eradicated diseases are surging again and children are dying. Our food has become unsafe to eat. We’re in a war that was completely unnecessary and the dotard in chief is shitting his pants and pretending he’s a tough guy while crawling into food carts to hide. Nero isn’t just fiddling while Rome burns, he and his ilk are smearing shit on the walls and actually lighting more fires.

    People are naturally stressed, upset and angry, and it’s again showing up in our driving.

      What makes this worse is they actually don’t have the humanity to care because to them you’re just “poor people”.
