What do you think the United States is more like? A guerilla insurgency or a miltaristic empire imposing its will on the rest of society?

So Leia isn’t a great analog. Maybe a Vader / Palpatine election would be closer to reality

I misread that, hold up.

The United States of America spends more money on it’s military than the next 10 countries COMBINED.

The United States has ~800 military bases all around the world in foreign countries.

This doesn’t sound like an empire to you?
