    America does have "heroes", but they're villains of some kind:

    • Charles Koch
    • The Walton Family
    • Elon Musk
    • Henry Kissinger
    • Donald Trump
    • George Bush
    • President_Obama [they/them]

      Are those actually national heroes, though? George Washington/ the founding fathers are of that status, but most figures you mention are only important to certain sections of the populace

        This is the best list I could come up with while following two rules:

        • Have to be alive
        • Have to be admired by "normal" Americans. (I would personally put Parenti, but I am in the minority with that decision).

          Bush literally just picked up a paintbrush while not being the orange man and that is all he had to do to be forgiven by libs for EVERYTHING.

            He's a darling for liberals because he rehabilitated himself by speaking out against Trump. To them he's a paragon of "civility".
