I am not sure, to be honest.

My theory is that the US is culturally an alien thing to Europeans. US culture
is based on limiting the power of the ruling class because the ruling class in
inherently untrustworthy. Europeans try to solve most of their social problems
by giving more power to the power and seem to think that doing otherwise is
something fitting barbarians (ie. only barbarians without functional police
need a 2nd amendment and only barbarians without socialist healthcare need
private hospital services).

If you check popular Spanish meme sites, Americans are usually portrayed as fat
rednecks who need a scooter to move around :-S

Then there are "¤little" things such as the fact a lot of Europeans are
goodist pacifist, to the point they would not defend themselves if a random
sucker started beating on them, and since the US is regarded as a militaristic
power, it is automatically worthy of hate for them.
