Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit had been going for years by 2013, so social media was massive. Trump actually ran for president in 2000, but he wasn't the phenomena he is now. "Woke" wasn't a term in the way it is today, but conservatives were just as anti-liberal.

Like I said, we're for sure more polarized than ten years ago, but it's a matter of degrees.
