Explanation: The reverence of the Founding Fathers, especially George Washington, in the US, can get… excessive. It’s been that way from the start, honestly - with a bunch of Graecoboos and Romaboos making up the educated classes in the early 19th century, we have such curiosities as Washington, here, sculpted in the image of a famous statue of Zeus

I saw the sculpture in the Smithsonian as a kid and that’s also the first question I had, lol.
