Pro-democracy Saudi liberals

"At the other end of the political spectrum, the liberals are also on the back foot. Having seen what the Arab Spring brought to Syria, Libya and Egypt, pro-democracy Saudis have concluded that what they see as corrupt, unaccountable royal rule is better than what might follow its collapse".  How could one be pro-democracy and support this tyrannical archaic regime?
