They didn’t even clean up the rubble
That was intentional, the klansman who built it didn’t choose a place that was culturally significant to the indigenous people by accident.
I’m not American, but the isopods that live with me under the same rock weren’t aware that this was made by Klansmen
iirc they ran out of money and weren’t even able to make it look the way they intended. Like they planned for it to have a 5th face or wanted to do full bodies or something like that but they couldn’t get it done
They didn’t bother to check what the mountain was made of. The answer was granite.
They thought they knew what it was made of, but took their assumptions for granite
Requires Fascism
I guess if things go south in November we’ll be up for Mt. Rushmore 2: The Movement known as Boogaloo
The boogaloo in question stems from the same meme you’re quoting and is a second civil war. Fun stuff
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but statues of real people are cringe… and Mount Rushmore is basically maximum cringe by that measure.
Reminded me of this song (which is german) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC872j2-PDw
Im gonna try translating the most relevant section:
Get the sledgehammer out, they built us a monument and every idiot knows that this destroys all love/charm. I will hire the worst sprayers(graffiti artists) of the city so that they may further deface the leftover rubble the same night.
Or the Statue of Unity! Even Christ the Redeemer is taller than Mount Rushmore.
What a fuck ugly pile of shit.
TBF it was supposed to be bigger.
Wait. You’re telling me they didn’t even fucking finish it and people are still mad about the idea of losing it?
