At a deeper level, the movement reflects a broader tension within democratic societies: the gap between symbolic action and institutional power. Many citizens feel a strong desire for accountability but lack clear avenues to pursue it once formal processes have concluded. Online petitions fill that gap emotionally, if not legally, offering a sense of participation and collective voice even when tangible outcomes remain uncertain.
Whether the petition ultimately reaches or surpasses 100,000 signatures, its existence speaks to the persistence of political polarization in the United States. It demonstrates how unresolved grievances can endure long after an administration ends, continuing to animate activism and public debate. For some, the petition is a call to conscience; for others, it is a reminder of how divided the nation remains.
