Maybe, just throwing this out there, empires ruled by a democratically(ish) elected leader of the country running the empire don't work so well, they work better with actual emperors, and maybe that's why fascism is coming round again.

No, they don't, like at all. Sometimes it's suddenly plain a conversation is not worth continuing.
