That is a rant, not an argument. Reread and try again, please.
If we are headed toward a roughly imperial US model then that
is not the same as "a free, democratic, constitutional republic"
at home and certainly not abroad. The rule of might is not
extropic in the least. The US has a spotted record regarding
what it spreads and supports abroad.
