Humor helps us understand that things aren’t always as they appear, they can shift shape or form, there are opportunities for change, and we’re not trapped by past decisions.
A can-do nation like America cannot afford to be overrun with can’t do/better-not-try humorless pessimists. A collective sense of humor would allow us to laugh at our pratfalls, correct them, and move on to a brighter future.
