I think you make a lot of sense there, across the board.
Your fall-back position is reasoned. The comments about the mentally challenged sounds reasoned as well.
Generally. most of them would want to be the leader. That would hinder cooperation right there. Funny how the movies always make it look so easy though. Not buying it in total. There could be times when a dominant person would be leader by threat and subservience by the others.
I also agree that we have more to fear from the Democrats. By far...
I can’t, in good conscience, call them democrats anymore. My parents were democrats, when it meant something, to be a democrat. I was a democrat, until Jimmy Carter turned me around. Now, they are communists. I saw someone say, JFK would not be welcome in today’s democrat party. I agree with that.
