Both horseshoe and the Overton window seems to rely on the assumption that all opinions on all subjects on the political spectrum stay stationary in relationship to each other, but that is total BS.
50 years ago you could have opinions on two different subject on the left, but in 2023 one of those opinions could have flipped but the other stayed the same.
Both the horseshoe and Overton window do not really account for these topical flips of opinion which renders both inadequate for explaining the ebb and flow of politics.
