I've seen them before and they are ugly. None of them would have wanted their face there so who is actually being honored?

Teddy did. That's why his face is included

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

While Teddy was the self-aggrandizing type who probably wouldn't have objected to having his face carved into a mountain, Rushmore wasn't even proposed until long after Teddy's political career was over.

I dunno, Theodore was also a reknowned appreciator of natural beauty, so I could see it going either way.

Yes, he protected land like this from developers. He's the reason we have national parks. No way he would have approved this.
