But I do believe that I qualified it based on how the American population responds to (how) a Trump second term.

I would have provided a link, but not sure how.

Domestic politics will determine how quickly Trump is able to cower the American population and we will determine our response. If we maintain control of the Senate and take over the House, then we can maintain some pushback to the craziness. But Trump will have the power of the presidency and we now realize that the Supreme Court is corrupt, so that’s a problem.

I do believe that Trump is a Russian asset and will turn on NATO and based on Putin’s desire, it may precipitate a regional war thus could quickly escalate. Trump might choose not to support our allies(NATO) which could then force another impeachment. But, as to how whether the Senate would have enough votes to remove him from office - that is the question. One could assume that the GOP will be pro-Putin as they have demonstrated that they will kiss the ass of anyone. Sadly, I would not put it past Trump and the GOP to make America a satellite of Russia.

But I think/hope that Biden will win, but I also thought that Hillary would win, so who can predict the Voters of this nation and their thirst for pain.
