Yeah, but by the same logic, many of them are 'good guys with guns', so they will be there to offset any mayhem that the bad guys will try to get up to.
Also in the crowd: the Tin man; that one guy who knows the formula for Coke; Waldo (see if you can find him); The great and magnificent Carnak; your 12th grade 'girlfriend from Canada'; the stay puft marshmallow man (he would never harm us); and any number of other persons who we wish to plaster with our hopes, dreams, fears and psychosis. They're all in there, you just have to believe, well except for your Canadian girlfriend - we all knew that was bullshit.

A division is a large military unit or formation, usually consisting of between 6,000 and 25,000 soldiers. So that would be nearly 4 by this minimum definition.
With over 2 million gotaways, it would be reasonable to conclude that many of them would likely be terrorists of some sort.
You are parsing over minutiae, ignoring the obvious. Or you don't care and approve of all the illegal border crossings and want them to continue.

The Unaparty is desperate to hold on to power no matter what it takes.
And then yes, I agree with you, half the country is going to get proper, roiling mad at the other half.
i really really hope I am wrong and everyone here can laugh and point fingers etc.
That would be better for us outside of the US in the rest of the world, than the effect of what I worry might happen.
I am quite convinced that for some reason there won't be an election.

Do you have any evidence to back this up?
Frankly, if Trump wins I think he would seriously consider suspending elections to help him or the GOP stay in power. He tried to get the DOJ to issue a blanket statement calling the 2020 presidential election into question, assuring DOJ officials that if they'd make that statement, he and GOP Congressmen would provide sufficient excuses.
Trump tried to use fake Electors to change the results in swing states. He asked GA and AZ officials to break the law and change vote counts that had been verified multiple times. Someone else here will have to chime as to whether Trump, Giuliani et amici were caught trying to similarly pressure officials in other swing states.
The Democratic party would not suspend elections come Hell or high water. Trump likely would. Trump is on a mission to destroy American democracy.

And he is Jewish. That alone may make him unelectable in today's climate and certainly at odds with the progressive branch of the party because of his ethnicity.
But what the hey, the more choices the better.
Still don't know much about him, but to those voters who think "I like what Joe did, but don't want him to run again" he, considered a centrist, may be just the ticket.
To republicans like yourself, well...

i'm super busy with work, so i haven't been giving much attention to the polling
in light of events and the news cycle, i just assumed that people would just re-elect biden/harris
oddly i saw a video by a black influencer speaking about another influencer showing clips of hip hop/rap artists promoting trump
i admit i was surprised and i'm guessing they can be quite persuasive among the youth following them
i just glanced at some polling over at 538 and see that trump and biden are literally neck and neck
going forward i wonder how much will hinge on trump's legal situation?
