These bubbles might be the new regionalism. In the past, communities were physical - the people you saw walking down the street. Through conversation got a sense of each other's views. Many political views could coexist in the same town but they were still somewhat regional bubbles. Social media (really just an extension of widespread internet/telecom connectivity) breaks the connection almost entirely. You can walk though a sea of people each day that may have completely different views than yours, while you are virtually connected with people across the world who share your viewpoints. Should we be surprised that this increases disharmony in regional politics?
