What are you talking about? The empire loathes the Thalmor. Do you not realize that the Thalmor invaded Cyrodil and killed tons of imperials from the empire? The storm loans don't like them either as the Thalmor as set on conquering Skyrim which is why they helped Ulfric so he would continue to cause dissent in Skyrim and ensure that it would be easier for the Thalmor to dominate.
