    one of Americas oldest and most well known public figures

    Think about it, are we supposed to take out Spiderman and SpongeBob? They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large land mass, but it doesn't have any heroes, all of their heroes are cartoon characters, they're all fictional.

    Also, gentrifier lib Elmo is real

      America does have "heroes", but they're villains of some kind:

      • Charles Koch
      • The Walton Family
      • Elon Musk
      • Henry Kissinger
      • Donald Trump
      • George Bush

        Are those actually national heroes, though? George Washington/ the founding fathers are of that status, but most figures you mention are only important to certain sections of the populace

          This is the best list I could come up with while following two rules:

          • Have to be alive
          • Have to be admired by "normal" Americans. (I would personally put Parenti, but I am in the minority with that decision).

            Bush literally just picked up a paintbrush while not being the orange man and that is all he had to do to be forgiven by libs for EVERYTHING.

              He's a darling for liberals because he rehabilitated himself by speaking out against Trump. To them he's a paragon of "civility".
