I’ve recently learned a really good way to win people over to your side is not to make a thoughtful presentation of your opinion on the topic.
It’s to make a vulgar, highly interrupting, spectacle, calling undeserved attention to yourself. Makes sense, since really all you want is attention and for people to know you’re virtuous.
Plus, this venue is overloaded with the very people who would otherwise be delighted to contribute $$$$$ to your cause. Ruining their evening is just SO smart! /s
