nixon's approval went from 53% at the beginning of the watergate trials to 24% the day he resigned.
i'm expecting similar results here.
Nixon was in a much stronger position pre-Watergate than Trump is. He won his election in a real landslide and was generally popular. But, I'm not sure Nixon's base was as loyal and we didn't yet have 24-hour TV news tailored towards specific political ideologies in those days. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
There are probably a few loons who would take up arms. like the Pizzagate moron. But overall, no, he's not correct. However, that sounds as if he edging perilously close to inciting riots.

This is the elephant in the room when it comes to Trump's impeachment, especially if he is convicted and removed from office. I want Trump gone just as much as any other liberal but it cannot be done hastily or without undeniable proof of a crime. Why? Trump is a populist who is still backed by a very loyal base. Impeaching for the wrong reasons could cause our nation's ongoing "cold culture war" to go hot.
So what do you think? Is Guiliani correct in that Americans would take up arms to defend Trump if Congress tried to impeach him?
Absolutely, and I wouldn't be surprised if some states seceded. The notion that impeachment can be used to overturn an election is outrageous and will not be accepted by most Americans.

Impeachment is not going to be used to overturn an election.
If Trump is impeached it will be solely for his high crimes and misdemeanors, of which there are clearly many.
