Not that this trend hasn't been noticed before, but sometimes graphs/maps like those can really put it in a whole new light.

One has to wonder what this means for the future of American politics. This level of polarization hasn't been seen in at least over a hundred years, and even back then, considering the lack of relevant data, the levels we are experiencing today might be the worst in American history for all we know.

I think it's a tad disingenuous that they used county maps of 1992 and 1996 to compare to modern elections.

Uhh.. what? They are showing a trend, and used maps for every presidential election since then.
