I thought the Empire in Star Wars was supposed to be Third Reich Germany. They literally both have "stormtroopers."

Originally i would agree but i am referencing how things are today as that’s what the meme is referencing.

If you asked Americans today if they are the rebels or the empire the folks I know concede that we are the empire. We are the ones going into other peoples home towns with military occupation.
