So basically the most famous Americans who died in childhood?
The kid who fell down the well got famous before she was old enough to talk about politics. (Also she didn't die)

Shit.

You know what, basically my entire list is deemed problematic at this point so...

Underleveled posted...
Mark Twain
Frederick Douglass
Sacagawea
Susan B Anthony

These were the four that came to mind first. I'm probably way off.

Edison and Elvis are good picks though. Might keep them in mind here.

Underleveled posted...
Actually, yeah, Douglass did hold political office, even though he's better known for other things. So he's out.

Twain never held office so I'm keeping him.

Remove Douglass
Add Edison
Delet all of this.

This is a tricky one, but, in trying to take as an objective of an outlook as possible, I think I have a list that can stand up against anyone elses.

Donald L. Trump, who has dedicated his life to the study of oncology and helped bring it to the forefront of fields with names that people dont know what they mean.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_L._Trump

William Trump, soldier and Silver Star recipient who participated in the invasion of Normandy during World War II.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Trump

Chrystelle Trump Bond, whose deft and insightful commentary made The Baltimore Sun a shining example of contemporary dance analysis.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrystelle_Trump_Bond

Clifford Trump, arguably the greatest interim president that Idaho State University has ever had.

Michael Jordan
Steve Jobs

first one is famous for saying "Republicans buy sneakers too." but there might be something else in there for political stuff.
Jobs was pretty famous for people not knowing his politics and it being a very murky mess.


alright, gonna finish this. final 4 for now:

Michael Jordan
Steve Jobs
Michael Jackson
Selena

i figure the last won't get much (understandably so) but fair to get at least 1 vote. the two Michaels though are both surprisingly good pics unless i'm missing something.

Walt Disney wanted to start an experimental community where he is the ruler and he did not have to necessarily obey local laws

pretty sure thats some flavor of political
