Honestly screw off Mel go back to whatever sewer you up crawled out of.
I gotta say, since blocking him this has been one of the best days on CP ever. He's clearly not a serious person with real opinions, just a troll, which he should be banned for. But for now "This message is hidden because MelBridgeman is on your ignore list." is a good enough solution.

That may be how you perceive it, but in reality, that’s not what I’m doing
I don’t know who these ‘people’ are that you’re referring to. If you mean Elon Musk, I don’t believe he embodies the things you’re accusing him of. You’re free to make those claims, but without evidence, they remain unsubstantiated and incorrect.
Living in a world where accusations are thrown around without careful thought or proof isn’t just unproductive—it’s dangerous. It’s important to approach such discussions with fairness and accountability.
He’s literally done the things I’ve listed, and even your argument is absurd. How can they be incorrect AND unsubstantiated? You’re just scrambling.
You’re the same guy who rejects the term “nazi” unless it refers to members of the German Nazi party and the same guy who has only ever brought up the holocaust in an attempt to reframe it as anti-white racism.
It’s pathetic to watch, man. You won’t to fawn over these people, go nuts. But don’t act like you suddenly care about some standard that you’re happy to completely abandon to troll people. Everybody sees you.
I have close family members whose country was invaded by real Nazis, and I’ve heard first-hand accounts of what they were truly like. Comparing someone to a Nazi over ideological disagreements trivializes the suffering caused by actual Nazis. If you want to dilute the meaning of Nazism simply because you despise someone who doesn’t align with your beliefs, that’s your choice—but it’s not a comparison I can accept.
What do you think Musk meant with the gesture?
This isn't some gotcha type thing I am genuinely interested in your interpretation. Can you not see how people would interpret that as a Nazi salute?
Given your alleged background I'd think you might be overly sensitive to this type of salute and what it could mean or devolve into.
Trumpsters tolerance/lack of questioning around dangerous rhetoric is concerning.
There's a lot of looking the other way, morphing into excusing, leading to sympathizing with people who've done real shady #### and show no remorse about it or intention to learn and correct those things.
Welcome to the phenomenon of group polarization.
You can't say you stand for virtuous and fair ideals while also giving your umquestioning allegiance to people who are actively doing things to undermine those ideals.
How do Trumpsters dig their heels so deep that they no longer recognize up from down and right from wrong?
It's very reminiscent of some of the darkest times in history and it all starts with justifying terrible things your leader says and implies through naive excuses and deflecting by finger pointing at the opposition all while letting him run his mouth completely unchecked.
I've never ever heard a Trump supporter admit he should not have said something. In all the crazy, wild, batkyit insane things.. Literally anything goes, and its a complete double standard from how they challenge and question democrat leaders. If you're not minding your side of the street with the same discerning eye as the other then I'm sorry, you've been duped and brainwashed.
If you were actually seeing things rationally you would recognize this trap you've fallen into, hook line and sinker.

We all know what's coming. And its sad that it will come from someone with the username "Calgary", as if their vitriol represents the people of Calgary (which we all know it doesn't).

Nothing is coming, because this person is a bigot. They like to harumph a lot, but they have very little substance to their arguments and character.
It's a feature.

Sorry, was I not clear? We're saying the same thing.

I'm not sure why you would get confrontational over being on the same side of the argument. Maybe their strategy works after all.
Honestly, I wasn't being confrontational. You're one of my favourite posters here.
I was sincerely apologizing because I felt like maybe my post wasn't clear. And then my apology post apparently made things worse.
Its been a long day at work (its 10:00 here and still trying to chip away at work). I've had two glasses of wine. Maybe its time to pack it in for the night...

I was just about to post this. Incredible all the way through. Trump and Vance's reactions are pretty disgusting.
For those that can't, or choose not to, access Twitter (never X):
I do wonder what the DNC is going to do to prevent JD Vance from becoming the next president. Here's hoping they do more than they did to prevent the second Trump term.

Please keep arguing with the person splitting hairs about how many beliefs you can share with Nazis without being a Nazi yourself. Definitely someone posting in good faith and worth engaging
I can't believe everyone took the bait...
This is Mel y'all...
Please, don't respond. Treat him like wallpaper: Just there hanging out in the background being hideous.
edit: just saw the lifetime suspension
