If conservatives hate democracy, why do liberals defend efforts to thwart democracy?

They defend Castro and Kim, who have never allowed elections and imprison those who advocate democracy. They defend Ahmadinejad, Mugabe, and Chavez, who have been known to jail the opposition and send out goons to attack anyone who votes against them. They also defended the gay fascists who got all pissy because the state of California voted to keep marriage one man and one woman!
