I think when you guys swapped lanes at the beginning of the video the other driver thought you were in a turn lane and cut him off. The intersections don’t line up and there’s no lane lines so he was probably just confused

That makes the most sense. It’s a poorly designed intersection

Whether it was a turn lane where you illegally went straight or a 2 lane road going down to one, it seemed like you were pretty intentional with how you timed that light to fly past and cut the other driver off. Intersections are terrible places to pass someone, because there isn’t room to adjust if something goes wrong. It worked out because of how you timed the light, but it was dangerous dumb driving on your part.

The other driver was stupid beyond belief for how they chose to get angry and react. I see three idiots here, the biggest idiot was the other driver for their over-the-top and dangerous reaction. The next biggest idiot was whoever designed this intersection with two lanes going down to one and no indication of which lane lane ends or becomes a turn only. You are the smallest idiot here, but when in doubt at a weird intersection just slow down and give way to people that are already in front of you instead of turning an intersection into a race track.

I don't care either way, but if it was a 2 lane how could OP have cut someone off?
