The petition’s growth is not about legal impact but about meaning. It “cannot trigger impeachment,” and supporters understand that. Still, each signature signals that “what happened during Trump’s presidency still matters,” and that accountability is something many refuse to let fade away.
For those organizing it, the petition acts as “a megaphone in a noisy political landscape.” It pushes leaders and media to face public sentiment that polls may miss. The signatures become a visible reminder that unresolved issues remain part of the national conversation.
Critics see the effort differently. To them, it proves the country is “trapped in yesterday’s fights,” unable to move forward or heal. They argue that revisiting Trump’s presidency only deepens division.
Between these views lies a broader reality: online activism is now a lasting political arena. In this space, “signatures stand in for votes,” and symbolic actions carry emotional and cultural weight even without legal force.
Ultimately, the fight over the petition reflects something larger. The debate over Trump’s legacy is also “a struggle over what kind of democracy America is willing to be,” showing how memory, power, and accountability continue to shape political life.
