She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?

Leia was leader of the imperial police?

Y’all can’t distinguish between movies and reality.

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?

Yeah, you’d think that would be exactly what she wanted.
