Why do people think because Steve’s name is Captain America that he automatically loves America? Because he doesn’t like at all. Steve Rogers does not represent America, he represents what America should be.

People: Captain America won’t approve of you slandering America!

Steve, on the run because he disapproved of the government making policies that would take away people’s rights: Please don’t smear my name like that

plus “captain america” is never a name steve chose for himself. it’s one that was given to him when the government used him as a propaganda tool, and one that became permanently attached to them after he died/disappeared and they continued using him as a propaganda tool, long after steve had been around to protest or correct anyone using him to promote beliefs and policies he would disagree with (at best). he’s never been addressed as captain america to his face that i can recall, always just “cap” or “captain/rogers” when he isn’t plain steve.
