Does anybody really think that recent politics has been because we are "polarized?"

Nope. The ad industry has made literally billions upon billions of dollars off of politics, and it's not declining, it's getting worse.

It's all about the bucks, maybe, but more importantly it's about where the bucks are going. Sure, it's going to media and the politicians. But mostly it's going to the ad agencies, making and selling commercials.
