I'm not sure whether you're genuinely completely misunderstanding everything and pulling stuff from nowhere, or if you're simply very unskilled at building strawman arguments.

When my previous comment can answer your current one, you're failing at rhetoric, man.

I don’t care about rhetoric. I care about argument.

Quite simply, liberalism cannot defend democracy from itself. If the majority of the population doesn’t want it anymore, liberalism can’t stop it, because to do so would require overriding democracy. Which Liberalism cannot do without defeating core tenants of itself (consent of the governed, namely).
