The Nazis collected sympathy by pointing to the deaths of officers at the hands of assassins. On its own, blind violence won’t always do what you want to them. You need to grind down the machines of the system they’re pushing, and you cannot give them easy excuses to legitimize further support.
There is no time for that. The actions the would work in WWII are not applicable today. The only thing they fear is being the target.
