We've been having a culture war for something like 40 years already haven't we? I mean with the militia violence and the bombing of abortion doctors and such?

Both are true. There's no way that anything will change without massive bloodshed but at the same time there's absolutely no guarentee that the change it brings will be positive. I don't see an answer, personally speaking.

And conversely -anything they don't approve of, we don't see. People ought to be a lot more concerned about the chilling effects of AI censorship on the rest of society at large than they appear to be.
