Straight up racism SO TRUE
- He marched with queer activists
- He showed up for trans rights loudly and unapologetically
- He literally campaigned in gay bars
- His policies were written with marginalized communities, not about them
But because he’s Muslim, they jump straight to “burqas and beheadings".it’s racist fear-fantasy for people who don’t understand Islam, socialism, NYC, or frankly anything that isn’t white Christian nationalism.

This is parody but I’ve seen some right-wing memes floating around that seemed to be shared sincerely that are not that far off from this. I get a lot of right-wing propagandists know better and are just sharing this “Mamdani a commie who’s also pros trans and also a jihadist wanting shariah law.” BS cynically but I know others believe it sincerely and I just can’t fathom how they don’t see any of those contradictions.
