Take a look at say, the Soviet Union and the United States. Everyone in the West especially thought the Ruskies were invunerable and would steam-roll over the world and turn it into a Stalinist picnic. Well, as it turns out, the Commies had a little trouble with one mountainous region of the world inhabited by die-hard fanatics known as Afghanistan aka the GRAVEYARD OF EMPIRES. So much trouble infact, after 10 years straight and 15,000 dead later, coupled with the fact that their economy was collapsing, they pulled out. Or you could use the US experiance in Vietnam as an example. My point is, just because you've got an 'invincible' army, doesn't mean you can't be beaten. Besides, the Psijic Order is thourougly against the Thalmor, or have you not played the COW questline? You know, where the Thalmor are trying to gain the Eye of Magnus? What this Mr. Anonymous said. Those evil elves may have conquered Valenwood and Elsweyr, but that does not mean the people submit to the Nazi Thalmor rule, just like the European pro-Soviet partisans in WW2.

I'm sure the are plenty of Khajiits/Bosmers like Malborn fighting against the Thalmor oppressive regime. In case you missed the Thalmor Embassy quest, Delphine mentioned about the Thalmor atrocities to the anti-Dominion resistance in the conquered provinces.
