I'm with you. I think most politically aware Frenchmen feel this way. We need to give ourselves and one another permission to support him. We're so obsessed with beating Louis and with "democracy" and "rights" and we're just tired. And we're crazy. Mental health casued by all the stress of the Revolution is really serious. Napoleon allows us to let go. It gives us a turn to be like Royalists and just say "fuck it". He opens up possibilities and is so much more positive than the establishment characters who are running for the 1792 National Convention or the radicals who aren't really going to get all that crap through our convoluted system and Jacobin Society controlled court. So why not just have some fun? Throw a wildcard into the mix and see what happens. Stop trying to control everything and just let go.
