I want to read a book about Hope Hicks. She is the same age as me, went to similar kinds of schools (pre-college), and before joining Trump didn’t seem especially political. And het if Wolff is to be believed she is the only person who is truly loyal to Trump. In a cabinet of cynics mocking him behind his back she thinks it’s never too late to change the narrative—an attitude she picked up from trump. Why? Or alternately, is it even possible? Does she have a long term gameplan—book or something? Bannon says she allowed herself to be incriminated by sitting in certain Russia meetings everyone else knew to avoid. She seems willing to go down with te ship. Why? Can she really feel loyalty to her awful, disgusting boss?

Daddy issues (according to the book at least)everyone is suddenly saying Nikki Haley is the woman Trump is having an affair with (as Wolff suggested last week on Bill Maher)but reading the book, it's clearly Hope Hicks

That is the obvious answer I guess. I hope not. It seemed almost like she just had a really bizarre personality profile amd was perceiving an alternate reality.

fwiw, i.e. not much, I knew they didn't want to be called that name on ilx, but I was under the impression it was because of someone stalking them and had no idea that using it would be deadnaming them until now (regardless of why, I wouldn't use it anyway, but just saying not everyone knows everything about everyone else here)

I haven't kept up with the thread but, if my example of a post-Adorno pop-hating pop writer is a fiction, to the point of being inconceivable, I'm pretty sure that actually supports the point I was getting at: I was NOT saying that poptimist writers always love (or should always love) the most popular music purely because it is popular; that is not a critique of poptimism that I would take seriously at all. I do think, though, that this critical approach is almost by necessity still less detached or sociologically-minded than "popularity itself is worth studying" seems to imply to me - it seems to require at the least a pretty significant appreciation of the basic aesthetic values of mainstream pop music (which does have a pretty clear and distinct set of aesthetic values at any given time). That definitely doesn't mean the poptimist has to love any given individual pop song but it will probably mean, statistically, that the poptimist will love a large number, or eventually become less actually-poptimist, for the same reasons you give. As such, I'm not convinced that it is radically different from 'rockism', which was also rooted in an appreciation for the aesthetic values of a Golden Era of Pop (and provided plenty of attendant political rationalizations for this preference).
Btw, I do know scholars who prefer other musics as listeners or musicians but who study pop because "popularity itself is worth studying" (or pragmatic in career terms). No one considers them poptimists afaik.
