The "horseshoe theory" is a political theory which states that the far left and far right actually share a lot in common. It derives its name from a horseshoe shamed diagram, showing that, while the normal left and normal right are far apart, they both "curve inwards" in the same direction at the extremes, thus being similar in some ways.
While sociologists and others studying this theory have mostly discredited it, I have seen evidence in more recent years that it might be somewhat true.
Here are some examples:
Far-left: Defund the police, as they are corrupt and oppress the people.
Far-right: Defund and dismantle the FBI and DOJ, as they are corrupt and oppress the people.
Far-left: People of color should have safe spaces away from their white oppressors.
Far-right: People of different races should not intermingle.
Far-left: It's extremely important to notice and obsessively think about your own race and the races of those around you.
Far-right: It's extremely important to notice and obsessively think about your own race and the races of those around you.
Far-left: If you are a biological man with effeminate mannerisms and feminine interests, you should accept that you're a woman and transition.
Far-right: Real men should not have effeminate mannerisms or feminine interests.
Far-left: Lesbians need to accept that women can have penises, and it is transphobic for them to refuse to date such women.
Far-right: Being gay is a choice, and they can be converted back to heterosexuality if they try hard enough.
Far-left: Women have no right to complain about biological men being allowed in their locker rooms, bathrooms, prisons, and sporting events.
Far-right: Women have no right to complain about laws forbidding abortion.
Far-left: The Jews are evil oppressors and have outsized influence on US culture and government.
