A politician cannot admit error or ignorance or their opponents will eat them alive. Sorry, that's just realpolitik, always been that way, always will be. Hell, I'd even argue that we evolved to follow the strong leader who's always "right" and see admission of fault or error as a weakness.

That may not be true for you or I, not on an interpersonal level, but the masses will never change.

I wasn't really talking about the politicians admitting anything because we all know better. I'm talking about the arrogant voter who "knows" they're "right," but can't logically justify that claim. By now almost the entire country should be against Trump for all the shit he's been doing, but his supporters will "rationalize" virtually anything to avoid having to admit they were fools. So the holes needlessly get progressively deeper because of the false bravado they just can't let go of.
