Holy shit George Washington would hate this policy. He was done being commander in chief! That's why he stepped down after 2 terms! I get it's symbolic, but his whole thing regarding the office was "don't deify me."

Which would really explain why he might come back as a zombie. The rage just builds until he pops up out of his grave and shouts, "DID I STUTTER?"

And then after he says that, he turns slightly and says, "not that there's anything bad or wrong about people who struggle with their speech. What I'm saying is, IF YOU HAD TROUBLE HEARING ME, YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME AS MUCH IN 1799!"

"...You named how many cities after me?!"

"...The Capital?!"

"...And also an entire state?!?"

"Nope, you know what, fine. I am a god. And I am vengeful."

Counterpoint. These are military titles and not presidential ones. When Washington left office he wanted his official formal title to return to General and not President. Meaning he would be more okay with this.

Which makes The Apotheosis of Washington pretty ironic. Beautiful, though.

Phony AF. Dude lived as a god among the people he enslaved.
