I'd split the comment. The first phrase about being supportive of others is great advice, because you will build strength in your group and community by doing so, as well as developing inner strength as a leader.
The second part is complete guessing, and is a weak guess, as you point out.
Dread and despair leads to optimism and overconfidence, it's cycled back and forth for the last 30 years. It'll keep going that way because that's how the oligarchs keep their illfound gains. I daresay it's been going longer than that but I've only had first hand account (that I was politically aware of) for the last 30 years.
