Do you not understand that that is also just more finely processed american propaganda? Captain America represents the "real" America, one that will not compromised by the corruption in our system. I think after the 90s it was just too much to show all Americans as the good guys, so now we do this dance where we are still essentially good, and we just have to stand strong against the bad guys within.

Propaganda wouldn't be a movie in which the villain is the government of the country that the main hero also belongs to, and remains with at the conclusion of the movie.
OTOH, the trope of the hero's government being the villain is very much a trope in the conspiracy thriller genre, which has been around for more than 50 years.
