Not really interested in arguing with MAGA, red or blue.
And as for "America is not an Empire" ... I'll stare at you in central and south American (almost every one of our countries has had a coup, dictatorship or otherwise American imposed client regime) and point at the map of somewhere between 750 and 1000 American military bases the world over (we don't even know the number for sure).
That's an Empire, babe, they just don't let you call it that.
