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.

America used to win wars with propaganda. Effectively the Cold War ended because quality of life in the west was better. And the western propaganda worked to convince people that the west was better.
