A new online petition calling for Donald Trump’s impeachment has quickly gained tens of thousands of signatures, highlighting the former president’s enduring ability to divide public opinion. Launched by the activist group Blackout The System, the campaign is nearing the symbolic mark of 100,000 supporters.
Organizers say the petition is a moral statement about accountability and democratic norms, while critics dismiss it as symbolic, noting that impeachment can only be pursued by Congress. Supporters acknowledge this, emphasizing visibility and public pressure rather than legal impact.
The petition underscores how digital activism continues to shape political debate and reflects the lasting polarization surrounding Trump, even years after he left office.
