Indeed... the "why" evades all rational, logical thought

10. Very true.

In fact, admitting error is just unAmerican and shows weakness. But it is also that we have been programmed for so long to expect a 'Hollywood' ending to everything. That orange gibbon loved the spotlight and used it to create a Hollywood atmosphere, but like all delusionary creations, it was very empty inside and did not stand up to reality. But, they won't admit that either. So, they flock to the 'greatest show on earth' because they love spectacle. It makes them believe again. It also shows those with working brains that we have so many people who are a danger simply because of their ignorance and how that puts those around them in jeopardy. From operating vehicles to denying COVID to attacking people on the street for various conspiracy related reasons. How we address this will definitely help shape the future of this nation for many decades to come. Will we get it right?
