Last para - All that said, as I gaze upon this Baphomet-looking construct, what I find myself waffling back and forth on is how the the MAGA world in particular would actually receive a product like Threehalves if it existed. On one hand, they live to be offended by anything they can interpret as being satanic or anti-Christian–who could forget the breathless right-wing condemnation of something like the “satanic” opening ceremonies of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris? But on the other hand, MAGA adherents have also been so thoroughly conditioned by the likes of Elon Musk into unthinkingly surrendering their lives, independence and critical thinking to AI and robotic automation–while claiming Democrats are trying to steal their independence by providing them with walkable cities–that I could just as easily see the MAGA hordes lining up in support of the horned, chainsaw-wielding demon robots the moment Musk or Trump tells them to do so. Could Threehalves be the hottest Christmas 2028 gift item for whatever Trump supporters remain at that time? If it actually exists, that is?
