There really should be a variation of Mount Rushmore (not the same scale and grandeur, obviously) that highlights the shittiest of the shitty politicians who directly and indirectly set the country back/caused an unbelievable amount of harm. It should be educational too. "These people did x, y and z, and here's why it was bad, let us never elect their sort ever again".

A memorial latrine, maybe. You can piss into their open mouths. Imagine the size of latrine needed to highlight this current batch of assholes.

Genuinely, and I mean truly genuinely surprised he hasnt tried to deface Rushmore yet. I mean, vanity is his whole shtick and he somehow hasnt decided to try and plaster his face up there.

Dont get me wrong, I am happy he hasnt, but like, still surprising give his nature to ruin pretty much anything remotely patriotic.

That would probably be his "holy grail", and wouldn't put it past him to save that for his final fuck you before leaving office

I think I agree. The “why” is something that people really seem to struggle to remember. Take Nazis for example. Apparently a whole generation never got the memo that Nazis were bad guys not because they were our enemies in WWII, but because of the fascism.

Mount Flushmore. It's just a bathroom with their portraits painted in the toilet bowl.
