Trump had Facebook and HRC had Twitter.
Hyperbole aside, we're probably better off using this as a tipping point for teaching people to think critically.
For every online platform that controls political messaging there will be an alternate platform that allows it to flow. It's the nature of the web, you can't put it back in the bottle now.
edit: not that bubbles don't exist - suggest you expand your own bubble. Relevant preview from Adam Curtis' new doc:

You're trying to pin Trump as using Mom and Pop level tech to convince the uneducated while Hilary was using good and honest woke tech for intellectuals. If that were the case why did Trump have a following on Reddit ten times the size of HRC? HRC may have had Twitter in the liberal tech echo chamber you follow but America is bigger than just that. The Trump campaign used social media highly effectively (often in awful ways) and it wasn't just taking advantage of senile old Facebook users like you seem to be trying to sell it as.
