In my experience, few people are NOT trapped in a filter bubble. If you've ever moved from a conservative area to a liberal area of the country, or vice versa, you'll feel this in your interactions with people. In modern politics, it's far more difficult to find people who are able to constructively engage with both sides than it is to find blatant partisans. Simple test for this is to ask some one to describe the positions of the other party and why they feel the way they do without using any disparaging or cynical terms. Fun experiment, I invite you to try it.
