Absolutely republican, once he sees that they would gleefully go along with anything he wanted.

He loves democracy, so he would be a Democrat. But he loves the republic, so he would be a Republican.

Yeah, he'd take power the same way Trump took power.

I just picture that senate scene where someone comes in and is like "here is evidence palpatine has been behind this all to size complete government power!" And then all the space Republicans are like "sure, that's bad and I'm deeply troubled, but he's also not a space democrat so we're fine with it. He will behave now, he's learned his lesson."

Obviously a Republican.

-Supporter of a strong military and authority in general.
-Strong fascist-like leader
-Uses bigotry and fear to keep certain groups down (non-humans)
-Uses strong force against enemies (Alderaan/Death Star) "Hurr we should just nuke the middle east"
etc.

I can totally see chuds calling the Jedi and the Rebellion a bunch of left wing radicals. I'm pretty sure almost every dork who tries to say the Empire did nothing wrong are right wingers.

in star wars, there was a right authoritarian flavor to the republic's caesarism

in history, it's had more of a center-left populist flavor, but folks aren't ready for that discussion
