No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That’s it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.
You should have told him to pull over to let you out, not paid him, and reported him. Bonus points to have recorded evidence first.
Assholes like this, regardless of their current situation, hard times or not, should not be allowed to continue doing this. If I go into work, and push code into production without reviews and approvals, I lose my job or at least get reprimanded. Nothing excuses the behavior you’ve described.
