What is the grammatical role of the conjunction "that" in the sentence?
Hello, I do not know what grammatical role the second conjunction "that" is taking in the sentence below.
Would you please help me?
The driving force of the movement is a feeling that Europeans have lost control of their future, that they could be incinerated in a war between the superpowers.
Q1. Is the second "that" linked to the noun "feeling", explaning what feeling it is? If so, why isn't there "and" to arrange the two nouns(that Europeans have lost control of their future and that they could be incinerated in a war between the superpowers)?
Q2. If it isn't linked to the noun "feeling", then is the second "that" the adverbial conjunction that represents the meaning of "therefore"?
Is there anybody who could explain the grammatical role of the second "that" and the grammaticality of the sentence?
I would very much appreciate if you give me some help.
