Quite honestly, if I were in Tony's position just before the beginning of Civil War, I would almost certainly have made the same decisions as him. I don't believe he missed the facist overtones of the SHRA, and I don't believe he's insulated to the extent that he believed the SHRA was the best way forward for the country.
I agree. Big time. I agree with both men's positions, and am sorry that they didn't work things out before they bought the bullet. But I don't think Tony realised the human cost of the SHRA - not until he found himself on the other side of the cage when he called Steve a sore loser.
I'd have thrown my lot in with Steve, tbh, although I respect Tony's position (which is why I still like the character). As a poc, I'm a bit leery when it comes to social programmes similiar to SHRA, Patriot Act, Terrorism Acts, et al. I'm a walking vulnerable.
I agree with your post, especially this.
