The trend of polarization started in the Reagan years.... ramped up during Clinton’s... was pretty much full bore during Bush Jr’s..... then the gloves really came off during Obama’s...
I see it as linked directly to the Fairness Doctrine being repealed .... in the name of ‘free speech’.

Polarization has been around since The United States fought for independance from England. I'd think the American cival war was polarizing. Pretty silly to blame a president is responsible for it or it's a modern phenomenon.
The media now would be a good start in the blame game. Thankfully most people can see what the CNN and CBC are doing.
