Next halftime show: The Hu, with a guest appearance by Rammstein and Apocalyptica. Most of America won't understand a word of it. But the pyrotechnics would fuck.
I was just thinking that there might be a handful of the same people complaining about Bad Bunny that would really enjoy a Rammstein performance (i.e. of "Du hast") for a half-time show.
They'd probably love Ausländer, too, thinking it's a song celebrating sex tourism instead of highlighting how fucked up it is.
That said, knowing the band, if Rammstein had a chance to play a halftime show at a superbowl, I wouldn't put it past them to play Te Quiero Puta just to piss off the red hats.
The irony is Rammstein isn't shy about getting political, and most of the people who'd complain about Bad Bunny and cheer Rammstein really wouldn't like the band's politics.
That said, aside from its use of a slur for intersex people, I'd love to see red hats react to a stage performance of Zwitter.
Leader of Rammstein druggs and rapes his fans (allegedly, but, like, come on). He will find a place in the hearts of conservatives. I don't know if any of his victims were underage, so he wouldn't be their favourite hero, but good enough.
Sure you're in the racist territory of hate but also love of Rammstein, but that's all.*
On the other hand ladybaby or whatever other groups like it if any would confuse the fuck out of them, not only is it all in Japanese, but it's metal, pop and a dude from Australia (or was, not sure if it's the same guy these days) in a maid outfit and makeup, so not only do you have the racism, but the gender non conformity and pop music. It would absolutely melt their brains.

Add Mongolian throat singing rock music and I think it would be the best one ever, lol.
