They want to tear down what exists and replace it with something that will satisfy their craving to do unto others as (they imagine) was done unto them. It is a religion with them. They are always seeking the very worst in everyone and everything. They can't understand why they aren't at the top of the heap, where they know they rightfully belong. You could call it narcissism.

If it were the slaughtered "native" Americans who could come back and voice their opinion of this country, or the enslaved "African" Americans, I could understand their grievances. But not some of these spoiled Americans doing the complaining in the present. OTOH, maybe they have a legitimate complaint, since it's the government that helped spoil them and take away their initiative for constructive accomplishment.

Excellent summation, Kate.
