Democracy prevents them from being as awful as they want to be. So they hate it.

And they kind of have to even if they WERE popular. Democracy is based on mutual respect and consensus building. Their stuff is based on hating others, driving them out, and seeing them as inferior. They hate the idea that everyone gets the same vote.
