It's more public. But I don't think it's that different tbh. Doing this shit used to be considered so cringe and weird and was relegated to fringe internet spaces.
The US itself is the same as it has ever been, killing 2 million people abroad per decade since ww2. However the entire time period was marked by social progress for various groups, right now the social progress is now social regress and that is the notable change that has occurred. Regress that has occurred during Dem governments I might add.
The thing that has always made americans ignore the country's behaviour abroad has been the consistent social improvement at home. They could say "well things are getting better for me" and that enabled ignoring imperialist foreign policy. On top of that it provided the excuse for that policy because at home things were always getting better and therefore they would bring that to the rest of the world.
Now that's gone and with it people slowly become unable to ignore the foreign policy being evil and the excuses for it bullshit.
