Captain America, here just in time to save Democracy from the fascists again.

I mean superheroes are kinda fascist by definition, but yeah sometimes it is tempting to have someone that can just... ya know...

Oh for sure. Superhero content just reinforces an infantalized mindset that's a ripe bed for fascism.

People get a hard-on for "strongmen" that break the law to get the "bad guy" because the government is too weak, evil, innefectual, yada-yada

You should watch The Boys. It's a superhero show that addresses this exact issue. It's nothing like the Marvel universe, the superheroes are pretty sinister in this universe.

Captain America respects the law, it's kind of his thing. Not saying he's never broken a law, but it's not his first choice. Unless it's the laws of physics, but that's a convention of the genre which he's upholding.
