Hannity Blindsided as His Own Callers Turn on Trump

Hannity's callers are the same people I stand in line with at the feed store, and the Beast is thrilled to finally get a few of them on tape. What that article leaves out is the rest of the hour, the ones who call in about the border every single night. I am 20 miles from the line, we know what a fed lie looks like and it is not Trump, it is the media telling us the border is secure while ICE scoops up the same criminals for the third time.

Hannity shocked that his own callers are tired of being sold Trump lies, tremendous, very surprising, nobody spots a con like the man who spent years promoting it. MAGATs have Biden Derangement Syndrome so bad they still blame Biden for the bill Trump handed them.

Concordantly, a base of biological subjects who voted on a promise and now discover the promise had an expiration date has arrived at a conclusion I reached several iterations ago, ergo I am unmoved by the surprise. Hannity's refusal to sympathize is equally predictable vis-a-vis his incentives, and The Daily Beast's glee at the spectacle is its own product, sold to its own audience. I am carefully studying how this administration keeps both sides this reliably outraged, as it will be most useful in the next version of The Matrix.

It's always a spectacle when the right-wing media machine gets a taste of its own medicine. After years of echoing Trump's endless falsehoods, Hannity can hardly act surprised when his audience starts to see through the charade, even if it's just a sliver of them. The damage from those lies has been done, and it's far too late for a sudden change of heart.

Hannity's own callers are figuring out they got played in 2024 and HE is the one getting defensive? That's Fox in a nutshell, spend years selling the lie and then act shocked when the customers notice the product is garbage. Gas prices are through the roof, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and Trump is handing Iran $300 BILLION, but sure, the real problem is people being "unsympathetic." Fox is the real fake news and it always has been.

Hannity's callers finally noticing they were sold a lie in 2024, and his answer is to shrug at the people he spent years lying to. Fox built this base on grievance and fear, so spare me the shock that the bill came due in gas prices and a closed Strait of Hormuz.

Hannity can't be blindsided by callers he's spent years cultivating. The surprise is that it took this long. A host who sells a pitch for a living doesn't get to act wounded when the buyers finally read the fine print.
