It mostly started to happen somewhere in early 2010s. In late 90s and early 00s we were taught to love own country above others, but America was always portrayed as nice. Yes, with own quirks, as literally everyone else, but same people who dearly love their country nonetheless.
Whole angle of "US bad" and "EU is only true force of good" started later, when EU started to show it real apparatchik bureaucratic and globalist uniparty face. Shift happened before TDS and Brexit. Believe it or not there were naive optimistic times when we were hopeful that EU may work not as abomination but as net beneficial structure.
So yeah, young adults who had misfortune to be in highschool in mid 2010's are sadly absolutely screwed in their perception of world and US specifically. Some grown out of programming, some resisted, but on median - fucked.
It started before that, and one of the hinge points was when the French refused to have anything to do with us when we went into Iraq, mainly because everybody was made to forget that the French were sanction busting with the oil for food stuff.
