If you follow the thread here, this is in a US context (the “we” referenced by the commenter), and it’s about “non-violent” protests, given the commenter said violent protests have been “protracted” with “low rates of success.” Euromaidan activists seized the government quarter by force and stormed Yanukovych’s mansion.
While I take your point, this isn’t a particularly illustrative example in this context.
No this is exactly what it looks like. They filled the streets and they didn’t go into his mansion until he fled after the Army turned on him for using lethal force against the crowd.

A year is an extraordinarily long time with an illegitimate occupant of the White House, pardoning himself for anything he chooses to do.

Yes, as I mentioned, 60 years ago.
There have been plenty of more modern examples given as well. At this point you’re just willingly ignoring them
