So basically it's existing hardware/software doused in snake oil and sold at a $350 upcharge?

A terrible product, if this review is accurate. But you have to at least admire their boldness in trying to blatantly manipulate a very opinionated and possibly underserved market.

This market isn't under-served at all. There are people tripping over each other to sell them investments in gold, reverse mortgages, commemorative Trump coins, shelf-stable buckets of food, really anything that you can put a sky-is-falling spin on gets thrown at this particular wall. Pick out a random conservative influencer/media person and scan their tweets for "discount code" like language, they sell lots of funny stuff to their fans.

If people are really willing to pay for crappy phones that come installed with political apps and news feeds meant to flatter their ego instead of providing any actual news, I'd say commemorative coins and etc are only scratching the surface of what you could potentially market to them.

People paying money for a physical echo chamber could probably as financially beneficial as politically beneficial, since you now have a platform with lots of access to a decently-sized market with known interests and easy keywords that'll trick them into overpaying.
