5. Conor, Conor, Conor. Hannity isn't "disrespect(ing) his conservative audience". He's playing to it.

You Built This.

Conservatives welcomed in the people Hannity plays to decades ago, encouraged them to identify as 'conservatives'. Anything and everything was permitted to break apart the Democrats' coalition and keep it broken.

THEY are the real conservative movement now, and you National Review guys are the pansy-ass slackers too chicken and do-nothing-elitist follow through on the very things you said needed to be done.

Extremism in defense of "liberty" is no vice, moderation in the pursuit of "justice" is no virtue, and all that.

People tried to warn you about the dangers of what you conservatives were doing, but you ignored them. Wait, 'ignored' is the wrong word. A phrase would be better: "too busy gleefully stomping on them to listen to". In other words, liberals and Democrats.

Look in the mirror, Conor. Hannity was one of your power tools, and you're the one who thought handling them while drunk and greasy-handed was a good idea. Can we stop holding your beer now?
