Remember that however you feel about political discourse in the US, the US is only part of Facebook's market. They have many more users in India than in the US. And the way you feel about political discourse in the US isn't necessarily true of everywhere else. It's not true here.
But where hate speech and weaponizing falsehoods are important tools in political discourse, I'd simply say they shouldn't be. We can say these are things that affect society in a bad way, no matter who wields them, so attacking those things isn't political in itself. At least I don't think of it that way.
If the environment changes, like the way you express your political opinions is moderated or censored, I think the best thing in this case would be to adapt to the changing environment and then express political views in a different, less harmful way.
