We imagine what this country is, but quite clearly, this country is a mystery. i mean, one of the reasons i did the election ads is, i thought i could learn something. like, what the hell is going on? i think anybody - particularly a person of leftist persuasion such as myself - who stops and thinks even for a moment, realizes that something strange is going on and we don't quite get it.

We Imagine What This Country Is, But

More From Errol Morris

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is interesting. and trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is funny. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is different. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is drama. trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is unpredictable. all of that means, you can't miss it.
Drama Mean Thinking
During the second war, the u.s.o. sent special issues of the principal american magazines to the armed forces, with the ads omitted. the men insisted on having the ads back again. naturally. the ads are by far the best part of any magazine or newspaper. more pains and thought, more wit and art go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine. ads are news. what is wrong with them is that they are always good news.

If what the philosophers say be true, that all men's actions proceed from one source; that as they assent from a persuasion that a thing is so, and dissent from a persuasion that it is not, and suspend their judgment from a persuasion that it is uncertain, so likewise they seek a thing from a persuasion that it is for their advantage.
Men Action Philosopher
The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

Why is the media doing what they're doing? well, there are many answers for it. i don't mean to be insulting anybody here. clearly, the media hates trump, yeah, and clearly the media's a bunch of leftists and they don't like trump's policies, and clearly this and clearly that. but there's another factor to this, too, that i don't think can be denied - and i think they're scared to death. donald trump is unraveling, bit by bit, major elements of the barack obama agenda.
