The last paragraph is amusing to me! We have the totally opposite reaction in my house with US politics being what it is. (Also, the last time we watched it, my spouse said to me, "Project Insight is just Facebook with guns." I mean, really, Cambridge Analytica with guns, but that's if I'm being nitpicky.)
Winter Soldier really needs to be seen alongside First Avenger, and not just for the Bucky aspect. Winter Soldier did a good job with the man-out-of-time piece while he's in the Smithsonian, but it's got about ten times the impact if the viewer knows who (and what) he lost when he sacrificed himself. As a bonus, you also see Zola in his human form (you do some in Bucky's flashbacks, but not with the full context), which increases the impact of the scene in Lehigh. (Also, First Avenger is fun in a very WWII-era WWII movie sort of way. There's a musical number!)
