True, however in a liberal democracy, everyone gets to contribute (in a small way) towards deciding upon what is law
-
Yes, but we can lose liberalism that way. If majority opinion is for authoritarian theocracy for example

Is it not possible to challenge others' intolerance without being intolerant?
-
Not sure what you mean. Was saying democracy could actually end liberalism if a majority wanted that.
-
But we can't tolerate intolerance, no. As soon as we tolerate one group imposing its values on another, liberalism gone

I agree. Perhaps a truly liberal society can't exist other than in the abstract. Only individuals can be liberal.
