    The wiki page specifically says that it’s highly criticized:

    Several political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists have criticized the horseshoe theory. […] political scientists do not appear to support this notion, and instances of peer-reviewed research on the subject are scarce. Existing studies and comprehensive reviews often find only limited support and only under certain conditions; they generally contradict the theory’s central premises.

    Just because it has a wiki page does not mean it’s a valid theory.
