Oh no, the academics disagree so what we observe with our eyes must be wrong.
Theories like this sound ok on the surface but as soon as you start digging into it, it falls apart.

I'm open to your alternative explanation of the observed pattern of horseshoe-jumping: e.g. Russell Brand, George Galloway, Claire Fox, Piers Corbyn, Glenn Greenwald, Naomi Wolf, Melenchon voters backing Le Pen in the 2022 2nd round - regardless of what theory explains the observed facts, there are a disturbing number of examples it.

You listed six people out of eight billion plus.
It’s a rounding error that doesn’t need a theory.

I listed six politically high-profile individuals out of the set of politically high-profile individuals, which is a much smaller set than every person on the planet. If I knew the political views of every human on the planet then of course I would prefer to give you a more comprehensive picture.
I also listed the 16% of Jean-Luc Melenchon's 7.7 million 1st round voters who indicated they were backing Marine Le Pen in the 2nd round of the French presidential election last year - literally leaping direct from the far-left candidate to the far-right candidate in preference over the moderate candidate.

I shared a source that you can get into if you’d like to.
