I think a part of is just the overall failure of the "War on Terror". So many wars, proxy and otherwise, and the Middle East is as bad as ever and Taleban rules in Afghanistan again, Libya is much worse off than it was with Gaddafi, etc.
A lot of Americans are tired of paying for long wars that either don't seem to go anywhere or actively make things worse. Propaganda has done it's thing clearly, but the ground was prepared by Americans themselves.
