I know Marvel did their best to paint the sides & issues in shades of grey, but it was going wrong for the pro-reg side when they came to Luke Cage's house to arrest him at midnight of the deadline, just because he hadn't registered. They wouldn't even wait for him to use his powers out in the street. Then Clor happened 😒 ...then, they started employing villans to do their dirty work in catching stray heroes on the run.
Certainly this is a parallel to America of the present day, where people have become willing to sacrifice freedom for security since 9/11, and dirty work has become accepted as neccessary for victory. No wonder Cap looked around and didn't recognize his own country anymore.
