Horseshoe idiots? This post confuses me.

He is invoking horseshoe theory, equating left-wing unwillingness to support US foreign policy and criticisms of him and Bellingcat and other narratives that justify it with right-wing conspiracy theories and support Putin for those that view him as an Eastern Orthodox Christian and Nationalist.

Horseshoe idiots: Leftists who don't think the US is justified murdering foreigners and overthrowing regimes, and who are suspicious of claims from the state dept, are just as bad as fascists, actually.

How do we get them to fight amongst themselves even more?

It would be funny

Sounds like it's related to horseshoe theory considering he's equating factual and reliable news sources like MintPress and the Gray Zone to disinformation peddlers like Alex Jones.
