Does anyone have that quote where Hitler thought no one would retaliate?
This seems to be a repeating pattern in right wing thought: they do a lot of paranoia that the browns are going to get revenge on white people, but every time chuds do shit and their victims retaliate they’re shocked.
Down with cis was literally meme’d because transphobes panicked that some trans people wanted to return their bullshit to sender. Like the most horrific thing you can do to a fascist is hold up the mirror.

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.

--Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris
Air Marshal and Commander in Chief for the RAF

I mean, he does line up some good points and says it in a way that average people can parse. Lord knows my brain is so politics poisoned I can lose touch trying to explain things to normies
