Mt Rushmore is absolutely ridiculous. Americans can use the phrase "cult of personality" to refer to other countries after they've chiseled off those ugly mugs and returned Six Grandfathers to something resembling its natural state.

They genocided hundreds of tribes and peoples, on a much larger scale than the holocaust, and then made monuments to brag about it. Still haven't managed to return any stolen land to the survivors.

but Oh no the DPRK are the indoctrinated ones!

Death to amerikkka

Mt Rushmore is also comically evil. It is a holy site of the natives. The local inhabitants got exterminated/ethnically cleansed after the US government set prices for their skalps. Then they approved to creation of that monument, done by a KKK member. And the icing on the shitfest: The entire area was designated a national park, to keep it save from any return claim by the natives.
