America (and my own country the UK) really need to have a serious reckoning with a whole mess of things: Fake news, Populism, weak leadership, short termism, lack of compromise and partisanship, the rise of extremism, censorship and cancel-culture, demographics vs democracy issues, racism, over-zealous anti-racism, and win-at-all-cost politicians to name but a few.
But it isn't ready or willing to even start.
Until then, it's hard to really care about any of this. I don't like censorship or big companies deciding what's acceptable. But someone has to, and no one else is willing to oppose some of the worst people and events we've had in generations.
