They’re really trying to figure out reasons to dislike the guy. For some reason, the “leftists” on lemmy.mlhate when a left American politician starts achieving success, and try to tear them down and lie about what a terrible person they are. It’s one of their favorite things; they relentlessly criticize AOC and Mamdani in a way they never would froth at the mouth about Chuck Schumer or anybody who is actually doing real damage.
Because pretty much everything he’s advocating for is the exact opposite of fascism, and because we saw his Reddit comment history which he wasn’t expecting to have exposed and there’s no fascism in it and there is some anti-fascism. Some bad-faith mischaracterizations aside, there is literally no reason at all to think he’s a fascist in any way, and a few different reasons to think he is the opposite of that.
Anyway, what makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? Or is it no particular reason, just “it is known”?

Hey, how about Graham Platner’s secret Nazi sympathies? We know he has them, because of the tattoo! I haven’t heard that one for a while.
you mean the fascist jackboot who worked in the abu ghraib concentration camp?
tell me again what makes that guy a leftist. and what makes you not a fascist for supporting it?
A new one! What makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? I did a quick search, and all I can find is a YouTube video by “BadEmpanada.”
an old one! what makes you think an empire’s jackboot with a nazi tattoo is not a fascist?
all i can find is the nazi saying he is not a nazi.

Not really a secret lol, and if you haven’t heard it recently it’s because you chose not to listen
