You’re probably being sarcastic here, but just to clarify, horseshoe theory is nonsense invented by centrists. Take Kirk for example. The left hated him for being a terrible human being. Groypers hated him for not being a terrible enough human being. Superficially the same, but trying to accomplish vastly different outcomes.
It’s not nonsense, it’s an observation that as people become more politically extreme, they become defined more by their extremism than their ideology.
“Centrist” is a logical fallacy anyway. Nobody declares themselves a “centrist”, there are right and wrong answers to political questions and it isn’t going to be “in between”.
That’s just what a person simultaneously on the Far-Left and Far-Right would want you to believe!
A bit more seriously, it wasn’t “Groypers” who hated him quite so much as a particular set of far-right slacktivists who were jealous of his success and wanted in on his grift. If there is a single person who might have been held directly responsible for the Kirk shooting (other than the shooter himself), it was Nick Fuentes - who just so happened to be front row center filming when Kirk got-got.
I’ve seen conservatives compare Kirk to MLK, but I think the more accurate comparison would be Tupac.
