The Internet Is Not the Strongest Force Driving Polarization

The most polarization they're finding is among the groups that are least likely to be on the internet. In eight of the nine political polarization measures, polarization is much weaker among the young than among folks age 75. I think in strict polarization terms though, Donald Trump capturing the Republican Party nomination was a step away from polarization. He's just like a more ideologically moderate figure than Marco Rubio or Mitt Romney.
