    God, I wish Trump had managed to get his face carved on mount rushmore like he wanted to.

    It would make it way harder for the libs to ignore what Mount Rushmore really represents.

    fun fact they specifically chose to do this to this mountain bc it was a native holy site. It isnt just a monument of a white nationalist state, it is explicitly a fascist monument celebrating the annihilation of non-white culture

        That always got me. Like, just move the damn rubble? The hills are (and specifically here, were) beautiful, it'd probably frame the whole monstrosity nicely. But no. Just keep the debris there. Lazy fucks.

        Of course, these should all be defaced and the land returned regardless

          I mean nothing is more symbolically and literally American than leaving a giant pile of trash everywhere you go

          this is there specifically to deface a native religious site so the rubble being left there is intentional & part of the intended purpose of defacement

    Some "what would happen if every disappeared" show I watched 10+ years ago said all our monuments would crumble eventually but Mount Rushmore would stick around the longest because of some climate/composition combo. Anyway good news if aliens show up after we're extinct they'll know not to bother going through the rest of our shit.

      The other good news is that we can just give the land back to the natives who hold the black hills sacred

    this actually being real is wild; for most of my life i assumed it was just some weird joke in american cartoons. ngl it looks even dumber in real photos.

    It just looks half-finished. Like someone earmarked money for a monument and then ran out half way through.

      Same. I see picture before the faces were carved and the mountain was so beautiful. It really is such a shame the natural beauty and sacred native land was desecrated by these fucks

      yeah it seems like an extremely boring attraction. Like driving all the way there and you spend, what, like 5 minutes looking at it? it's not like going to the grand canyon where you could literally spend weeks hiking around it and being in constant awe

    Presidents in the US are venerated to a degree unmatched by any English monarch.

    It’s cool at first/if you don’t know the history. Then you’re like “oh all this land is stolen. Oh it wasn’t even completed. It’s just a giant fuck you to the indigenous people there” etc

      It is the epitome of an American monument.

      -A giant 'Fuck off' to indigenous people

      -Built to honor bunch of rich, white men

      -Not even finished due to various issues

      -Designed by a literal fascist

        Worse than a giant “fuck off”

        It was built intentionally on sacred land
