Would be great if this wasn't behind a paywall so that more kids from the Bronx could read it.

Was expecting fluid animations. These are animated stills, not hating though.

You're not allowed to compare current polarization with past polarization? The article talks about the driving force behind the polarization which certainly could be compared.
