  Though she sounds self-involved, look at the U.S. since 1980. The entire culture turned its children into trophies, rewards for top performing parents. 
  On their own, they are no one. In the corporation they are someone. It's why Trump flattered Matt Gaetz, "calling him a "great talent, young, handsome" and said, "He's going places." Daddy's boy.
  Having a dream job (with or without an insurrection marring one's resume) is the ultimate path to parental approval. Hope Hick's was Daddy's girl, the right match for Trump's White House. Having a conscience was too old school--a drag on her ambition. She craved her Boss's approval (as much as his referrals)!
  The Boss, the symbolic "parent" is the reason the Family Research Council or Turning Point USA have a death-grip on the GOP and aggressively attack civil liberties, reproductive health and fair wages. In the 1980s, James Dobson's Focus on the Family preached physical punishment (tough love) as the method for training obedient🏆trophy children.
context: Anyone associated with the Trump administration ought to be unemployable for at least the next twenty years or so. The nation needs to go through a period of de-Trumpification the way we (should have) had de-Nazification in Germany after WWII. >
  
  I remember saying the same thing about Bush. >
  
  And yet he comes across as a perfect gentleman compared with Trump. His family seem very worthy too, unlike no. 45's. How very far America has fallen since electing Trump. >
  
  I don’t want to understate the severity of Bush’s war crimes. Both are severe imo, trump is just more of a media circus. >
  
  I mean he lied and republicans dragged us into a losing war over false WMD’s where millions of brown people got bombed and trillions of USD were spent over nothing. >
  
  It also created a power vacuum that allowed ISIL/ISIS to thrive. So, it wasn't spent on nothing. It was spent on actually making things worse. >
  
  I'm imagining a lot of future interviews that feature this line...
  "So I'm noticing a work history gap from 2017 to 2021. Would you care to expand on that?" >
  
  Very few of them lasted 4 years >
  
  More of them can be measured in Mooches >
  
  I think she said something like "now they all think we are domestic terrorists." >
  
  Didn't CPAC run a banner stating exactly that? >
  
  The organization that made it's stage into a perfect replica of a Nazi symbol? >
  
  Wait wat? >
  
  Aryan majik. >
  
  The real outrage should be reserved for Mitch McConnell and his colleagues who refused to convict Trump after he was impeached. >
  
  "Outrage" in this country is those people constantly getting reelected. 
  73% of registered voters 18-29 didn't bother showing up to the midterms. 
  People like to pretend they care, on social media. They don't show up to vote, when it matters. Rinse, and repeat. 
  If you don't vote, stop complaining about politics. You are the problem. >
  
  I bet everyone's job prospects vanished after that day >
  
  I don't know, there's always Faux News. >
  
  They can only hire so many blondes. >
  
  Fox CEO: That sounds like a challenge >
  
  She would’ve been first in line to kiss Trump’s ass had the coup been successful. Hope had already spent years trashing her prospects by working for a criminal. >
  
  Steaming pants while they're being worn is a highly marketable skill.
  ~ Hope Hicks, probably. >
  
  Hope Hicks, she got down on her hands and knees, begged me for a Job ok, "please, Sir, please give me a Job," I said ok, and she did good, but then the Radical Left somehow got to her, and all of a sudden she now loves Crazy Nancy and Obama, can you believe it?  you take a look, Very Innocent President, not like Obama or Sleepy Joe who only want to hurt our Country and hurt our Great Constitution, and nobody knows more about it than I do.  and I should really be thanked a lot more if we're being honest about it, the Fake News never gives me credit, it's a horrible shame.  ok, no more questions, especially not from the Fake News. >
  
  That’s uncanny. >
  
  
  Hicks wrote, “Not being dramatic, but we are all fucked,” 
  
  Yes, and you all deserve it. >
  
  So far, there hasn’t been nearly enough fucking, except for bottom-rung fuckers. >
  
  The GOP only thinks about themselves and themselves only. Fuck everyone else cuz I got mine!!! >
  
  Only when their awfulness is exposed >
  
  well, once the coup failed that's what she thought
  while it was going on she was hoping she'd have a nice office in the new Fuehrer's palace >
  
  Only people who were boarding the Trumptanic were just opportunists. Sucks being them it did not work out. 
  I know if was doing interviews, and one came thru saying 'Trump white house' in the trash can it goes. >
  
  If she was a good person the Trump WH never would have hired her. >
  
  These are not introspective people >
  
  Being a self-centered, narcissist seems to have been a requirement to advance in the Trump administration. Instead of working to put an end to the traitors whipped up by her dear leader into attacking an institution of democracy, she immediately thought about, oh no, what about me?? >
  
  She fine tho >
  
  Well she was evil and slimy enough to work with and stick by Trump, so expectations for her to act decent were rock bottom. >
  
  I don't know why, there's always openings for steam cleaners. >
  
  Call me naive, I genuinely don't understand how you could be in the capitol at a moment like that and not have the deepest of existential crises when it comes to the beliefs you've been espousing over the last few years and the consequences thereof. 
  Like, I've made some horrible decisions in my life. Decisions that needed years to ramp up to some truly horrific consequences. And when those consequences came, it felt like someone had hung a bunch of 50 lb dumbbells off my body using fishing hooks. I've never felt so physically disabled by grief, anger and disappointment in my life.
  Now, some of those decisions had some truly terrible consequences. But nothing quite like ending years of bullshit propaganda with an actual insurrection.
  How do you not absolutely break down in fear and shame in a moment like that? How do you only think about your money?
  Sometimes these people barely feel human to me. >
  
  Hope Hicks is the most MAGA name ever >
  
  Nah, she didn’t think about her job prospects until she realized Congress had escaped and there would be no coup d’etat. >
  
  What's the word? Shallow? 
  No, I've got it! 
  Vapid. >
  
  Evil. >
  
  Can't be a republican without being a sociopath. >
  
  There's always Onlyfans. >
  
  
  In other revelations around the January 6 transcript dumps, we learned this week that longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway urged Melania Trump to get her husband to stop the insurrection, arguing that though he might listen to people who work for him, he “reserves fear for one person, Melania Trump.” (Unfortunately, the then first lady was uninterested in doing anything about the attack, as she was reportedly busy helping with rug photography at the time.) 
  
  Remember when we all thought Melania might actually be a good person who's stuck in a loveless marriage because it meant she could provide a better life for her son? Remember that week or two when she just kind of disappeared from the spotlight and we were legit worried about her?
  It's good to know she's a garbage person who hopefully gets everything she deserves. >
  
  I know, I thought the same thing when I read the texts and then when I told my mother about the story. Those itches were sitting there with their job prospects as the #1 priority/concern. The sad part is people like that are never unemployable. All of us here can be (I haven't had a job since August, and my resume is actually pretty good and so is my education). But they never are. They're untouchable until time passes, and then they go back to getting opportunities they don't even deserve. That's America for ya. >
  
  I can almost resist judging someone who is not terribly intelligent falling for trump's BS.  It is, after all, something he's been doing for decades.  But when someone reasonably intelligent cynically joins his team, eyes on future paychecks, they pretty much deserve what they get.
  In my fantasies:  "would you like fries with that?" >
  
  I’m sure she would have felt different had the insurrection succeeded.  She didn’t find anything wrong with her boss way before this 🤷‍♂️ >
  
  Who is Hope Hicks?  Was she anything before January 6? >
  
  She can always start an only fans account >
  
  Gasp!
  She is a fucking monster. We know this. >
  
  No one that voluntarily worked for the Trump regime should ever expect to live that down. That being said, there are far more jobs available for people with no moral/ethical compass than for people with integrity. >
  
  Of course she did! None of these narcissistic sociopaths know how to human! >
  
  See, a lot of people thought of that before working for that nutjob and then... didn't work for him.
  You made your shit bed, now it's time you lie in that shit. >
  
  reads about the actual shit on the walls during insurrection
  I see what you did there. >
  
  It seems that Veep was a documentary. >
  
  In her defense the human brain has the capacity to consider multiple consequences of an action all at once. 
  When I was watching in horror on Jan 6 it also crossed my mind that everyone associated with trump must be feeling like their careers are over and would be pissed (still deserved it). But I considered it at the time, so why wouldn’t she? >
  
  I hope that hick never gets another job.
