Though this piece isn't about Hannity per se, he's the perfect avatar and blabbering NPC for the permanent Wilsonian interventionist, neocon, warfare/welfare oligarchy.
Where are the reputed "conservative" (whatever the hell that's supposed to man anymore) stalwarts, like Kennedy, Lee, Cruz, Hawley, and the reputed congressional "Freedom Caucus", when it comes to shoveling scores of billions into the regime of the biggest corrupt money laundry on the planet?...They're giving political hand jobs to their lobbyist buddies at Raytheon, that's where.
It is one thing to see the Democrats eagerly join the CIA, State Department, and Pentagon in demanding the escalation of U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. That alignment makes perfect sense politically—why wouldn’t the left align with the same national security state that embraces all of its values, and which has repurposed itself to target the left’s domestic political enemies on the right?
Seeing lawmakers on the right take the same stance, though, is both puzzling and pathetic. The relationship between the national security state and most GOP lawmakers and pundits increasingly resembles the relationship between an abusive husband and his battered spouse. Like a wife who believes her husband still loves her even as he sends her to the hospital, the same lawmakers and Fox News figures who claim to have embraced the Trump realignment are yet again letting themselves get played by a Regime that hates them.

If this feels familiar to you, it’s because we’ve seen this movie before. It’s a tired old flick about Republicans, especially “America First” pretenders, reverting back to the same old war script. Remember back in 2002? George W. Bush said war with Iraq was a “last resort.” Baloney. Republicans should have learned from that scam, and maybe the base of voters did when they elected Donald Trump as the Republican nominee in 2016. But the Republican establishment, including supposed MAGA and America First stalwarts, are still beating the same old war drums. With their every word and action, conservative “leaders” have embraced the new priority of Ukraine First, no matter the risk of World War 3. And thus far, Sean Hannity has been one of the worst offenders.
Hannity has tied himself into knots trashing President Biden over rising oil prices while also advocating for the drastic escalation of sending fighter jets to Ukraine.

The America First Movement Has a Sean Hannity Problem - Revolver News
Until they liberate themselves from The Hannity Trap, the Republican Party will never be capable or worthy of Making America Great Again.
