The death of democracy is not likely to be an assasination by ambush.
It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference and undernourishment.

unlimited government that is objectionable..
It is not democracy but unlimited government that is objectionable, and I do not see why the people should not learn to limit the scope of majority rule as well as that of any other form of government. At any rate, the advantages of democracy as a method of peaceful change and of political education seem to be so great compared with those of any other system that I can have no sympathy with the antidemocratic strain of conservatism. It is not who governs but what government is entitled to do that seems to me the essential problem.
- Friedrich Hayek, Why I Am Not a Conservative
