Hannity, among others, is very charismatic. He has his message and uses it well. In just a few weeks of listening to these shows, you become hooked, like a drug.

This is not too dissimilar to Sun Myung Moon of several years ago. This is why it is su frustrating to argue with a MAGA. In some ways, they get to a point where they can't help it.

This will be a long process.
