Since you won’t accept the obvious answers, how about this: grassroots efforts that you or I push will get zero international public attention or are easily suppressed at worst. Any impeachment will automatically make the news and can’t be suppressed because the federal government is the USA’s international arm.

This isn’t just an America problem and it’s good for the world to see a verifiable measure of resistance. Unconfimable local tweets and phone videos, shockingly, don’t do much when the opposition can invent and cherry pick their own narratives.
