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.

There are entire universes of difference between wars where the US invaded (Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc) and one where the US is helping an ally stave off an unjustified, psychopathic, barbaric invasion.
To even call US aid to Ukraine a "war" or "proxy war" are quite frankly misnomers. It is simply helping an ally defend itself.
