"They" is the democratic party. Ever since America voted for Trump in 2016, the left's contempt for America has gone through the roof.

The pro-Hamas crowd has now become distinctly anti-American. And they represent a significant portion of the Democratic Party.
The throngs who came out for Hamas and aggressively against Israel and Jews immediately after 10/7 could ostensibly have been thought not to hate America. While Hamas has killed dozens of American citizens, it has never formally declared an attack against America or American targets. I know families whose loved ones were murdered by Hamas terrorists; the attacks were aimed at killing Jews, country of birth or citizenship irrelevant.
But the signs were always there that the “river to the sea” crowd also hated the very country that has given them everything they have. Initially, they put akeffieyeh on a statue of Benjamin Franklin in Washington. Around the same time, they climbed light poles in New York in order to remove American flags and replace them with Palestinian flags. And one could notice that at their large rallies and marches, there were only Palestinian flags; American flags were nowhere to be seen.
But they have moved their US-hatred up to eleven. Recent events include the following:
*In Dearborn, Michigan/Lebanon a group started chanting, “Death to Israel; Death to America.”
*A fellow flew a Hezbollah flag, though the group murdered 241 Marines as well as other Americans in Lebanon in the 1980’s For good measure, he burned an American flag as well.
*Young lunatics in Chicago praised Iran after it sent over 300 projectiles towards Israel to kill Jews. Iran has the blood of hundreds of American soldiers from Iraq on its hand, independent of the embassy takeover in 1979.
