The article has embedded videos so you can see that this isn't being made up or blown out of proportion. It's no surprise that this happens when Trump demonizes democrats up and down the ticket as he does but that doesn't make it any less horrifying to see this happen in the United States. That Don Jr. encourages this is really something though.
The picture shows at most 6 trucks. A video doesn't show a 50-1 outnumbering the police. There's no evidence of them being armed. A dozen Trumpers following the campaign isn't a mob. If they feel threatened, open carry an Ar-15, it's useful against multiple immediate threats. There's a tv ad campaign that literally has the tag line "Vote for your life". It's being blown waaay out of proportion. The vehicular assault is waay out of line, agreed.

Surrounding another vehicle and inciting fear in the passengers is also quite serious behavior. Don't you care?

Steve Scalise was shot in a politically motivated shooting.
Antifa and BLM are left-oriented and they're not pacifists. The latter literally supporting looting in Chicago.

It's called driving down the damn street. I'm surrounded by vehicles any time I go down the highway. Some of them drive like crap, and can be quite scary. I don't go into their lanes and try to force them off the road in response. I won't ask you if you care about trying to force someone off the road, because clearly you don't.
You are well aware that the escort vehicle was trying to get between the truck and the bus. Look at the size of that truck! Would there be any hope of overpowering it in that car? You saw how easily it was pushed away after they came in contact. Come on.

Hillary urged people with "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,". A wife of a Repbulican senator was sent a video of a beheading when her husband, Sen. Gardner, voted fro Kavanaugh . Source: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/w...on-republicans.

America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.

I'm calling that small group of Bad Orange Man supporters overly enthusiastic, rude, but not dangerous. That's based on the DB and CBS links in the OP. Now, admittedly, if there was any video on the DB page, I was unable to view it. The page would not load at all in Pale Moon, so I had to resort to Opera. Opera loaded still photos, which did not show anything scary, but no video. The videos at CBS were not scary.

I think what the Trump supporters did was far less legal, particularly when it is directed at a vehicle containing political opponents.
When you say such silly things it makes it impossible to even pretend we're having a dialogue. Yes, you are surrounded by individual cars who haven't displayed, as a group, threatening behavior, surrounded you, and attempted to force you to either slow down or leave the roadway.
