There are obviously huge black marks in US history from that to slavery to the genocide of the natives to overthrowing democratically elected governments around the world to things like MK-ULTRA, Jim Crow, redlining, etc. etc. But even among purely symbolic things that donāt materially impact peopleās lives, it pales in comparison to Mt. Rushmore, which was a thousand times more gaudy, more narcissistic, and which destroyed something a thousand times more valuable. āThe most shameful stains,ā come on.
I donāt know whatās going on in the minds of these people. Some combination of ignorance of history, partisan brainworms, and misplaced pride in the symbols of our shitty government. Itās so cringe, itās peak liberalism and shit like this validates the whole āTrump derangement syndromeā line, because thereās no way in hell any of these people would give half a shit if someone else was doing it.
