O’Sullivan’s First Law

Phyllis Schlafly speaks at CPAC in 1988, as William Rusher applauds. At the time of Schlafly's speech, CPAC was more conservative, but in more than three decades since then, CPAC has drifted to the Left and the non-conservative agenda of some of its sponsors.

O’Sullivan’s First Law describes the leftward drift of many politicians, leaders, and organizations. First coined by John O'Sullivan in 1989, it states: "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."[1][2]

One -- and only one -- possible counterexample: Twitter and its acquisition by Elon Musk. The U.S. Constitution uniquely prevents liberal creep from happening to the United States overall, based on federalism, separation of powers, and the guarantee of freedom of speech.
