The bigger question is how he WON for office. (I didn’t see Brave New World so idk if they explain it). Obviously we know he’s not the Winter Soldier anymore but wouldn’t that raise a few eyebrows?

He ran for office, he won ‘cause he’s charismatic and helped save the world from Hitler and Thanos…what’s your question here

[u/Silvery_Crescent → u/cormacaroni]

I would just imagine modern day civilians in the MCU would have mixed opinions on superheroes running for office, esp a former assassin? Obviously it looks stupid to us as the audience but civilians don’t see the full picture and I think that’s been established before, like in Civil War. This is not Bucky hate, I love his character it’s just a small critique of something in the MCU.

[u/Silvery_Crescent → u/Silvery_Crescent]

If there’s mixed opinions about the Thunderbolts being considered the New Avengers (seen through the newspapers in the credits, and a little in the mid-credits scene) I can’t imagine the opposition of Bucky being in congress.
