You might not agree with the content or message of the Ryan Long video. However, it is unambiguously an example of \\\"The Horseshoe Effect\\\", in that Long\\\'s sketch is arguing that racists and anti-racists share many opinions. Maybe the argument is uncharitable or unfounded; it is not the job of this page to pass judgement on whether or not examples of this trope are charitable and well-founded or not. Whether or not the creator of the video has some obnoxious opinions or is \\\"actively trying to strawman people on the left\\\" has no bearing on whether or not it\\\'s a valid example of the trope.
The video you linked does not \\\"explain\\\" anything. That video argues for a particular interpretation of Long\\\'s comedy, which one might or might not agree with.
I do not care whether or not including a link to one of Ryan Long\\\'s sketches is thereby \\\"signal-boosting\\\" him, and I object to the suggestion that \\\"we\\\" should not be signal-boosting him simply because you disagree with his opinions.
