This is quite honestly one of the major problems with our society right now. Once you take a public stance, you are not allowed to revisit and re-evaluate. I think that this is by and large driving most of the polarization in the country, since "My view is right and I will not give an inch least I be seen as weak".

While most of the things affected are highly political situations, i.e. Trump's ideas or Biden's fitness. We also seem to have thrown out things that we used to consider cornerstones of liberal democracy i.e. our ideas regarding free speech and censorship, where we claim that it's not happening because it is a private company.
