I'm confident in high volatility forward looking, but not confident democracy is dead (yet).

That point might hold more weight if we were talking about someone decades younger, but he’s 80 and hasn’t exactly lived a healthful life. As far as I know, no one’s managed to beat father time yet.

Transitions of power in movements built around a cult of personality rarely keep the same momentum. There are a few exceptions, but in most of those the clear successor had their own charisma. That doesn’t appear to be the case here.

You are not wrong. I hold the exact same sentiment. The world is way more optimistic than us.
