That’s not surprising. I was listening to talk radio yesterday on a long drive home. Basically cultural anxiety (not economic anxiety) was the biggest influence on Trump voters. They discussed this article/survey from The Atlantic:

Fox News radio allows white workers to continue being brainwashed while working.

IDK. He’s the face of the franchise now - even if he’s masked or covered in prosthetics. I’d guess if the series is in the same vein as the films, the price is right and he can fit recording 10 episodes into his schedule it may be feasible. Would be a great look!

You’re proving his point. There is no way you obtained that (mis)information by actually conversing with an illegal immigrant. You got that BS from one of those dreaded news sources.

+1 so true

So people came all the way from Europe where they have actual free healthcare........ to get fre healthcare. Right. I’ve got some beachfront property in Oklahoma you’d absolutely love

I live in the south. This is absolutely true that Fox is what these people live and die by. Every restaurant, doctors office, and any other place with a TV will be tuned exclusively to Fox News. Fox has trained them to not trust anyone but Fox. It’s the classic Jim Jones/Scientology tactics of “everyone who isn’t us…

My dad said that back in the Soviet Union, if you kept your wipers on the car, they’d get stolen, so everyone kept them inside the car. If it started to rain, traffic stopped everywhere, everyone got out of their car and put on their wiper blades. That’s how quick of a job it is, you can literally have everyone stop…

I’m not sold until Pa Kent tells her that it’s ok to just let people die and then she rejects that notion and say it’s NOT ok to just let people die. You can only become a true hero if you can resist Jonathan Kent..

“not really on R2's level”

My brother despises R2D2. I forget why but it has something to do with him being an arrogant smart-ass. He also hates Alex Trebek for the same reason.

Fictional non-biological/non-android....hmmm...God?

If we aren’t limited to film, readers have a deep love for Marvin the Paranoid Android.

Declarative Statement: Sure for 40 years I’ve been fond of R2, but Knights of the Old Republic’s “HK-47" has this meatbags heart.

Thomas the Tank Engine. Not that it’s good / he should be, but he’s so beloved by toddlers it hurts. (TtTE and Elmo are on our current “do not EVER let the baby see this” list. Fingers crossed it holds.)

I’ve never thought about it, but giving a personality to a cylinder that can barely move, had nothing resembling a face, and speaks only in beeps, was a pretty amazing thing to pull off.

KITT from Knight Rider

Ooh, beloved, really? Let’s say HAL 9000 is a strong contender to be the most quoted AI.

You have many answers already, but here’s my take.
