Is there rage bait in real life?
It technically exists under the notion of "starting a scene / commotion at public spaces with the intent on grabbing people's attention in person" like for example: two guys have a verbal argument right in the street escalating into a full out brawl between both parties in which others walking past become witnesses as humans may crowd around to see what's happening.

Or: *entering the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial cosplaying as a Nazi* will trigger rage bait or outright offend Holocaust survivors and their descendants as that in itself is already disrespectful, it's similar to playing dress up as Bin Laden at the 9-11 memorial in NYC to inflict "rage bait" as it's someone mocking those who literally died in the tragedy or come off as being insensitive.

of course there is, such as walking into a christian home and bringing up evolution. Or bringing in a flat earth globe to a science meeting.

Most Christians believe in evolution, just that it's a tool used by God to work creation. There are still some that believe the earth is no older than 10000 years but in my church there are less than a dozen.
Flat earthers are not worth your time.

I would like to know what happened to road rage. I haven't seen a single instance in many years and it used to be so common.

What if they are just driving the speed limit and if they get pulled over again their license will be revoked?

Road rage videos becoming VERY popular. There's not a better deterrent than shame.
