Yes, imagine that Michigan and Ohio went to war at one point. In WWI there were generals that refused to believe modern weaponry changed the face of war.

Real answer: as boomer as it sounds, the reason things seem so crazy now is social media has both allowed people to reach each other easily and block one another. It creates niche echo chambers, as well as groups that normally couldn't organize because of distance.

It also lets us see things quicker, which of course is going to cause faster reactions with less thought behind them.
