    Neither Napoleon’s consulate nor his empire were democratic. Even the directory that he overthrew only stayed in power by nullifying electoral results that they didn’t like.

      Lol his empire was just him appointing his dumbass relatives (and his somewhat less dumbass friends) as kings. It couldn’t have been less democratic if he’d tried.
