Overton Defenestration

When the Overton Window shifts around people that don't change themselves yet end up under different labels afterwards after being thrown out/defenestrated of the original windowframe.

Changing labels without changing those in question in a way similar to the Red Queen Theory where someone needs to keep running in order to stay in the same spot. The running here would be chasing after the shifting Overton Window.

Overton Defenestration occurs when the window throws you out itself while you do nothing in response to the Overton Window shifting around you.

"I was a liberal by the 1990's definition. I guess I still am. My positions haven't changed all that much, but the goalposts have been moved so far that I don't fit in anywhere anymore."
