Fascists love this fake Patton quote

I was scrolling Facebook and came across a picture of WWII soldiers captioned something like “Woke leftists on their way to persecute fascists for disagreeing with them”. I’d post the picture but Facebook resets every fucking time I navigate away from it and come back for some reason.

Anyway, this quote was posted at least 3 times in the comments by fascists attempting to “refute” the idea that fighting the Nazis was morally correct:

Gentlemen, I have come this morning to the inexcusable conclusion that we have fought on the wrong side. This entire war we should have fought with the fascists against the communists and not the other way around. I fear that perhaps in fifty years America will pay a dear price and become a land of corruption and removed morals.

General George Patton.

Here’s a Stack Exchange link about the veracity of the quote: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/36062/did-gen-patton-say-we-defeated-the-wrong-enemy

Apparently there’s no good source for the direct quote but he did agree with the sentiment and was relieved of command for it.
