It's called Riding Shotgun and it was a trucker who just documented his travels with a GoPro mounted on his dashboard. It was fun because it like I was, well, riding shotgun. Then I watched a video from a year or so ago. There was an awful accident in Denver caused by a young immigrant trucker and he went off on Democrats and "how we let all the illegals in and give them everything while screwing decent Americans..." bullshit. Completely ruined it for me. So disappointing. I'm sorry I gave him the views.
Are all long-haul truckers MAGAts?

(102,304 posts)That was truly horrific. Sometimes horrific disasters are just that-- though so many want to find a "villain."

(34,409 posts)He made the video several months after the accident. It was interesting because he drove the route of the accident and pointed out all of the things that went wrong and how it could've been avoided if he'd been better trained. Then he went off on that anti-Democratic tangent and the trucker wasn't even "an illegal." I'd never heard him mention politics before. I'm still bummed out about it.

This was during the first year of trump*s 'presidency' and it was actually very enjoyable..for a few months until the moderator of the board started going all yee-haw about something trump did that 'no dem pres would have done'. I publicly posted my disappointment..that I had come there to escape politics and good bye.

(19,962 posts)can see a number of Trumpers comment on their videos, so it's possible at least. It would be a pity because they are amazingly talented.
