steve rogers is american the way ‘born in the usa’ is american: realistic and open-eyed and unflinching in the way he regards his country, aware of its flaws and willing to critique them, always on the side of the underdog and the left behind, and often fundamentally misunderstood by the right because of some well-placed stars and stripes.
As soon as I was old enough to actually listen tot he lyrics to Born in the USA I both loved it more and was deeply confused bt why it went with fireworks every year.
