Appreciate the answers, sorry for only addressing the last one.
Of course many Americans don't dislike Europe, it's just a portion I'd call the harder right, for lack of a better word. And my assessment is certainly not just based on these boards, although to be fair on here it's also not just the usual suspect. I've also read that Europeans act like stupid children voting for authoritarian s* whose actions make the Nazis look good in comparison. And it's not a too seldom thing that people go way over the top in such manners. (Don't get me wrong, I sure have a lot to say about Trump and FOX and other American things that are intangible to me as well, and a debate is always fine, but I'd never go as far as to call Americans stupid idiots. And I'd consder that the normal thing to do.)
Speaking of over the top, it sure starts with the Donald badmouthing May and Khan in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack, which was quite rude to say the least. In general people have to say quite much about the London mayor, which again is strange because European leaders never slam US mayors, e.g. for having crime rates higher than London's, especially not after a city fell victim to a tragedy or a vicious attack. It's also calling Merkel names, calling Sweden rape capitol and whatnot, there's a bunch of those. In the end, the most salient thing always is how European people are portrayed. As an example, the "no-go zones". Now sure the EU is severely flawed and some migrants make problems and all that, so not argueing all that, but no-go zones make me angry. And the reason is that these guys would tell Europeans who try to set the record straight blind and stupid. Even when you tell first-hand that no, there are no areas in my city the police wouldn't dare to go in and where the rule of law no longer prevails, they insist. They insist I and all the others are way too stupid to see what dailywire & co. are describing, we are brain-washed etc. etc., you get the picture. I could go on, but I won't, but yes I do see an attitude against Europe from the right, and it's a negative one and goes further than freedom fries.

But really, I don't think most people really dislike Europe. I don't know the number, but millions of Americans go there every year. I saw one guy here call Europeans stupid idiots, but I don't see a prevalence of it anywhere. Then again I'm not looking for it.
