It's one of those things that seems merely 'ordinarily' ugly until you see it in the context of the surrounding landscape, and then you realize that, in addition to being an intentional offense against the Sioux, it's fucking hideous

Huh, I've never actually seen it like that before, looks pretty dumb when you see the surroundings with it.

They couldn't even clean up the tailing pile. Disgusting

I will say it once under anonymity. I am not American, it took me way too long to find out Mt Rushmore exists. For the longest time I thought it was a painting or something, not real!

It's one of those things you've always known of, but feels surreal when at some point you actually think about it. Happened to me too.
