I once supported the Empire, except they turned on Talos and surrendered themselves to those bloddy Elves. Yes, yes, I know I know, before you start lecturing me. I know that Emeperor Titus Mede II "had" to surrender himself to the Altmer, Aldmerian Dominion, Thalmor, whatever you want to call them for the survival of his reign. Imperials are strong, capable warriors, and fine merchants, too. And the Altmer only have Magika bonuses, when a swords comes to a fireball, who will win? [Due to Skyrim physics I know you can't really 'deflect' a fireball, but Oakflesh man... Oakflesh.] Sure they have fancy-prancy sparks but I am pretty sure a steel blade to their throat will beat them. But Ulfric has a motive to cleanse the land of the Elves and Imperials and allow the worship of Talos free-will again.
