Agressive drivers getting worse?

Guys, I'm no sissy, but good lord the agressive drivers have gotten out of hand here. I've lived here my whole life, and never seen it this bad. I live 5 minutes from work in the med center, so I don't venture out much.

However this morning I went to a store only a few miles away. I got stuck behind a car and a truck having an ego fight, I guess one honked at the other. The car was in front, and came to a complete stop to purposely block the road and truck, and the guy in the truck was laying on his horn blaring it. I was stuck behind them with nowhere to go. The car would go a few feet, and Then stop just to piss of the truck. Then they both started driving erratically, and swerving purposely trying to crash into each other. WTH, I had no way around them, and nowhere to go. I had my dog with me and was terrified someone was gonna pull a gun out. Finally they turned down a road, not sure what happened after.

Then a few minutes later a car next to me started to merge into another lane with a car in it, almost hit them. The car that almost got hit started having a fit. Then a few minutes later a guy comes barreling down the street honking his horn, I'm not sure if it was meant for me or the guy beside me. We were going the speed limit in a school zone. He was in a hurry I guess, and thought the world must move out of his way. I'm overly conscious of staying out of people's way, and going the speed of traffic.

Oh yeah, and my brother had a railroad spike thrown through his passenger window because he accidently cut someone off apparently. A friend of a friend was shot in the leg coming off 288, because the other car felt she cut them off. Anyone else noticing this craziness? It's already stressful working in a hospital during COVID, and now you can't even relax and go to the store. WTH is going on?
