Because Democracy is wholly unworkable in the world of the future.

There are 2 centrifugal forces pulling liberalism apart. The first is a demographic one. The white population in europe has roughly stabilized or has gone negative, and meanwhile the foreign population is growing at an exponential rate. Foreignors have very different views on how government should be run, and this will express itself in elections. As these populations grow, democracy will become increasingly unworkable because of the two very different ways of life clashing.

The second force which will destroy liberalism from within has to do with Energy. In the industrial world, economic growth is entirely dependant on energy growth. Without energy there is no economic growth. We are reaching a point where oil is becoming increasingly rare, and there will be serious problems in the next 5 to 10 years. Government's legitimacy will undermined, bankers, immigrants, everyone will be blamed. Basically, the Happening will Happen. See the graphs

In response to the Chaos, a Strongman with a cult of personality will arise like every other time in history, and he will consolidate power through sheer force of Will. "Roman Hardness", because the only alternative is chaos.
