I didn't hate the couple cap stories I read in his series. His political career is seriously disturbing though.

What's telling is this plotline isn't a straight "Cap becomes evil" story but attempts to pull off the idea of a "good" HYDRA

And the "real" HYDRA is better than the Nazis not bc of a strong moral stance but bc they're supposedly smarter than Hitler

The narrative being Cap's HYDRA sponsor was against throwing in with Hitler bc he's an unstable madman (and not for actual moral reasons)

This actually does come worryingly close to the stance of modern neo-fascist apologia

Like ppl are muddling this. The issue isn't that Captain America turns evil. It's that the story treats this as morally ambiguous

Which is, of course, the attempted hook - if it were treated as him turning evil they wouldn't drag it out so much

A story where your hero gets brainwashed by the bad guys and stays that way a long time might be annoying/upsetting but not to this level
