Examples of hopelessly in a Sentence

1. Andy and Larry Wachowski, The Matrix, 1999:

   You have to understand. Most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

2. Hellen Titus:

4. Democratic State Assemblyman Albert Muratsuchi:

5. Stephen Miller:

   Joe Biden has horrendously and hopelessly politicized the DOJ by using them as an arm of the Democratic Party, filing frivolous litigation solely for political – not legal – reasons. This is a clear violation of legal ethics and it warrants a full investigation into who directed these deeply offensive and utterly meritless lawsuits against the states which clearly have no legal basis whatsoever.
