Trump's election was an act of protest by the people, because they felt, and rightly so, that the promises by the democrats to decrease social inequality were just full of shit.
So instead, the old voice of nationalism spoke louder.
Ciro agrees with analysis of Can't get you out of my head by Adam Curtis (2021) that this is largely because government is losing all power to do anything meaningful. So the only thing left to do is to speak empty words to calm, or exacerbate, people's fears and hopes.
Ciro believes it is important not hate Trump and his believers, no matter how disgusting Trump might seem, a large part of which is likely theater. We have to try and understand them instead.
Trump's election shows clearly how the democrats let down the poor. This understanding is a good thing. It shows that we all have to make greater efforts to help the poor. Just voting for some random democrat candidate who doesn't really care every four years is not enough.
Another positive point of Trump's election is that it further highlighted the power of social media even further: it now feels more likely than ever before that anyone can run for office, since a president without any previous political office was elected (of course, being filthy reach helps a lot still, which is a problem). And this further highlights the need for regulate social media, to prevent events such as the deplatforming of Donald Trump
We should calmly analyze and understand how someone that tries their best to appear disgusting managed to win. Some interesting analyses of Trump's character:
- www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/06/the-mind-of-donald-trump/480771/ The Mind of Donald Trump by Dan P. McAdams (2016):and the author comments:which is exactly the right way to approach things.It was as if the golden-haired guest sitting across the table were an actor playing a part on the London stage."It was Donald Trump playing Donald Trump," Griffin observed. There was something unreal about it.

- corruption
- This was a beautiful comment, since it highlights not only that Trump is corrupt, but also that highlights that the others are corrupt, which is why the people elected him. TODO find video www.vox.com/2015/8/6/9114565/donald-trump-debate-money:
Q: You've also supported a host of other liberal policies, you've also donated to several Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton included, Nancy Pelosi. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business related favors. And you said recently, quote, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.
TRUMP: You better believe it... I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people. Before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me. And that's a broken system. - This was a beautiful comment, since it highlights not only that Trump is corrupt, but also that highlights that the others are corrupt, which is why the people elected him.

Fifth Republican Primary Debate - Main Stage - December 15 2015 on CNN
. Source. This perfectly summarizes the spectrum of republican politics. The only candidate who said anything decent were the two least popular ones, notably:- Rand Paul, saying that interventionism in the Middle East was a failure (Jeb notably still wants to repeat his brother's mistakes!), and supporting freedom of speech rather than censorship and violation of privacy
- Carly Fiorina, saying that the people must take the country back
Ciro Santilli's mother loves that one. Even though she was constantly worried that if Ciro had studied physics he would be poor and starve, a factor which led him to study engineering instead, one of the greatest mistakes of his life. don't be a pussy.
This vocabulary likely entered Ciro Santilli's vernacular through playing Counter-Strike when he was a teenager.
A rondelet is a short poetic form consisting of a specific structure of lines and a repeated refrain. It typically consists of seven lines, with a rhyme scheme of a-b-a-a-b-a-a. The first line is repeated as the last line, and the second line is also repeated as the fourth line. This creates a circular feeling and reinforces the poem's themes. The rondelet is derived from the French word "rondeau," which refers to a type of verse that features a refrain.
Anagrams are words or phrases that are formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word "listen" can be rearranged to form the word "silent." Anagrams are often used in word games and puzzles, and they can also be a fun way to create new words or phrases from existing ones. Some anagrams can lead to humorous or interesting combinations, adding to their appeal.
Natural units are a system of units in physics in which certain physical constants are set to 1. This simplifies many equations and relationships by eliminating the need for explicit reference to these constants. The most commonly used natural units involve the speed of light (\(c\)), the gravitational constant (\(G\)), and the reduced Planck constant (\(\hbar\)).
Heat waves are prolonged periods of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity. They are typically defined by meteorologists in various ways, but a common criterion is a significant rise in temperature that exceeds the average for a specific region and persists for an extended duration, usually several days or longer.
A spoonerism is a linguistic phenomenon where the initial sounds or letters of two or more words are swapped to create a humorous or nonsensical effect. The term is named after Reverend William Archibald Spooner, who was known for making such slips of the tongue.
A barrel is a unit of measurement commonly used to quantify the volume of liquids, particularly in the oil and brewing industries. The definition of a barrel can vary depending on the substance being measured: 1. **Oil**: In the oil industry, a barrel is defined as 42 US gallons, which is approximately 159 liters. 2. **Beer**: In brewing, a barrel can refer to different volumes depending on the region or specific context.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
