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

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.
