    Whatever his charisma might be, if he runs in 2028, that’s good at least in that it would require his father not have managed to remove elections and term limits by then for it to occur

      Not necessarily, it could be like Russia electing Putin into office. In 2008 he traded roles and became prime minister due to the consecutive term limits they had there, then he went back to the presidency and abolished that whole restriction so he could remain president for the rest of his life. Russia still has elections, but opposition candidates get disappeared. It’s more of democracy theater than actual democracy.
