Facebook might be a factor in the division we see today in America but don't kid yourself: we were pretty f*in' divided during the Bush years—the Supreme Court had to decide that election, and the 9/11 unity lasted about a day and a half—and the GOP stopped at nothing to go after Clinton.

This has been going on since the 1980s. Facebook may be an accelerant, but it didn't start this fire—not by a long shot.
