The definition of a wuss is when you need to be in a mob.
Like an international crime syndicate, or a “deep state.”
Or any run of the mill family mafia like the Bidens or the Pelosis.
I’ve known guys in the mafia there were cruel but also BRUTALLY tough, even if alone and it didn’t really matter how many were against them.
But I would be you’re right and that more rather than less are not so tough alone.
