When you see embedded posts it's because of a technology (or more appropriately, a standard) called oEmbed (https://oembed.com). The service provider (in this case, Gab) must offer oEmbed. And then, clients (in this case Patriots.win) must whitelist the provider. It's much more challenging than that, but that's the gist.
I doubt that Gab has implemented oEmbed services on their end. It's not a simple thing to do. It can also be taxing on server resources. I would first check with Gab and see if it's something that can be added.

OK. That I think answers my question, partly.
The follow up would go to the mods asking if it's possible to embed gab posts, and if it is why we're not already.
