        The way a far-right phrase can be used verbatim by someone on the far left, although with a different flag lol. Love to see it

          That’s the joke, though. It isn’t horseshoe theory, implying the far left and right are the same or more similar than different, it’s just a joke about the DPRK using red white and blue in their flag.

            I see it as the literal definition of horseshoe theory but actually applicable for once, where (in this one instance) the far left and right are more similar than different (same words, different flag), but judging from the reaction what I meant to say is not how it came across lol

              Ah, gotcha. Yea, you made it seem like OP was so far left/right it wrapped around, which isn’t what’s going on (or something that happens).
