The UK has managed to keep people engaged over Brexit for seven years now. In the US abortion is an ancient topic, but has been a big topic since the supreme court nomination of 2016 and seems to keep people more engaged than ever.

I don't really buy that the nation can't keep interest in big tech regulation for more than two years, if congress and the media wants them to.

Big tech regulation: abstract thing.

Abortion: talks about freedoms. close to peoples hearts.

Brexit: talks about freedoms. close to peoples hearts.
