This plan can never go wrong!! Clever plan can go wrong when people realize they weren't all that clever, this plan is not clever to begin with so it cannot fail.
Quite! Actually I think that "horseshoe theory" apply to politics because there is an hidden variable, that I'd call "liberal VS authoritarian". Basically there are people who think the government has to impose its authority on the other side, but they exist both on the right and on the left. They are perceived as "more extremist" because of that, but the politics of both are similar because they are both authoritarian, thus creating the impression of an horseshoe (but in reality there might be people who are very lefty or very righty but not authoritarian). Marika is out of her depth here, and he is in a situation of emotional shock, so she is likely to go to any extreme, as is the case (in my opinion) with people with authoritarian tendencies, but this is smoething that will happen much later (semi-spoiler).

She'd be a great proponent of the horseshoe theory.

Marika may not use physical violence, but she's all the better at verbal violence.

Indeed!
