One half the country is pseudo-Christian and the other half is promoting trans/transgenderism which is defined by Christians as Satanic. Doesn't take high IQ to see these things are not compatible and not directly the fault of FB.

This is obviously true.

However Facebook is grouping people together into groups who only receive messages that reinforce these kinds of beliefs.

It is amplifying and hardening them and making them more extreme.

Is it the cause? Of disagreement? no. Of the extreme polarization? Yes, is one of them.
