      Technically he did not overthrow The Republic so much as became it.

        isn’t really a Republic at that point is it.

        i know the meme, but he did eventually transition fully over to a galactic empire.

          Eventually, though the transition was gradual. We are watching the transition happen live in front of our eyes with Donald Trump, who already preemptively has the legal ability to assassinate his political rivals if he were to so choose. However, he did “not” actually overthrow the government - do you see the difference? Yeah, I’m not sure I do either, but some people claim to, so there’s that, and somehow that seems to make all the difference in the world, in terms of people not wanting to fight back.
