Donald Trump by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
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:
Most damning moments:

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
The others are mostly fear-mongering and saying "we will destroy ISIS", to avoid actually dealing with the more important questions: the people have no power anymore.

There's about 60 of them.
Bond softening refers to a phenomenon observed in the context of materials science and solid-state physics, particularly in the study of mechanical properties of materials. It denotes a reduction in the strength of atomic or molecular bonds in a material, which can lead to a decrease in its overall mechanical strength and stiffness.
In chemistry, the term "field effect" often refers to the influence that an applied electric field can have on the properties and behavior of molecules, especially in the context of conductive materials and charge carrier mobility. While the term is more commonly associated with electronics (e.g., field-effect transistors), it does have applications in chemistry, particularly in areas like electrochemistry and molecular interactions.
A **rigid rotor** is a model used in molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of a rotating molecule where it is assumed that the bond lengths and angles between atoms do not change during rotation. This simplification means that the molecular structure is considered to be fixed and rigid, which allows for the analysis of the rotational motion of the entire molecule as a solid object.
The Chayanda field is an oil and gas field located in the Sakha (Yakutia) region of Russia. It is part of the East Siberian region, which has been the focus of significant exploration and development due to its rich hydrocarbon resources. The Chayanda field is particularly notable for being part of Russia's efforts to increase its production and export of natural gas, especially to Asia.
The National Helium Reserve, also known as the Federal Helium Reserve, is a government-owned facility located near Amarillo, Texas. It was established in the 1920s to ensure a stable supply of helium for various applications, including military and scientific uses, particularly during World War II and the Cold War.
The 1961 New South Wales earthquake occurred on December 28, 1961, and is one of the most significant seismic events in Australia's history. With a magnitude of 5.6, it struck near the town of Bargo, located southwest of Sydney. The earthquake was felt widely throughout the Sydney metropolitan area and as far away as Canberra and Goulburn.
A VM reactor, or a Virtual Machine reactor, typically refers to a component or architecture used in virtualization environments that manage and operate virtual machines (VMs). However, that specific term isn’t widely recognized in standard technical literature or industry usage. In general, virtualization technology allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine, each acting as an independent system with its own operating system and applications. This enables better resource utilization and flexibility in deploying and managing computing resources.
COVRA (Central Organisation for Radioactive Waste) is the Dutch facility responsible for the management and disposal of high-level radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands. Located in the municipality of Borsele, COVRA was established to provide a centralized solution for handling various types of radioactive waste, including spent nuclear fuel and other materials from nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research institutions. COVRA's primary functions include the safe storage, treatment, and eventual disposal of radioactive waste.

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!
We have two killer features:
  1. 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-calculus
    Articles 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.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
