Actually in the 1940s, Jeanne Kirkpatrick was affiliated with the “Young People’s Socialist’s League” which was basically a college branch of the Socialist Party of America. By the 1960’s she was a Democrat and campaigned for Humphrey but then met Hugh Jackson and started becoming a neocon and voila, next thing you knew she was in the Reagan cabinet and switched to the Republican Party. I am not sure if there are any modern analogies to her political conversion: maybe Kyrsten Sinema has as she has migrated from the Greens to the conservative wing of the Democrats?
