Basically any other country is small enough for the mob to get to the capitol building at a moments notice
Plus there already are protests outside those buildings daily
Imagine driving 40 hours from LA to DC to protest on of president flip flop's statements
And European countries usually have some form of mass transit that would aid protestors in getting to the capitol. The most populous US cities are not the political center of the country and don't have cheap access to them. An Amtrak ticket from NY to DC is like $130 minimum and can barely hold a normal day's amount of commuters, let alone an influx of mass protestors. And the Amtrak NE Corridor is some of the best interstate public transit the US has.
This is just American exceptionalism
“Protesting is tooooo haaaaaaaaaaaaaard”
