#WilhoitsLaw remains the most succinct summary of #conservatism.

A meme consisting solely of text on a mid-blue background.

At the top, in bold light cream text,the headline is the single word "Conservatism".

Below that, in quote marks, is the white-coloyres main text: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

The quote is attributed to Francis M. Wilhoit

#WilhoitsLaw in one picture.

A jeep with "I am Charlie Kirk I will not be silent" on one side and "All lives splatter nobody cares about your protest" on another side.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Wilhoit's Law: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Quoted from a post by Frank Wilhoit, music composer, but frequently misattributed to Francis Wilhoit, the political scientist.
