The late William F. Buckley notwithstanding.
I seriously doubt the late great Buckley would have staged such an event on this particular day or been attracted to it himself. He may have been anti-WOD, but he was hardly a loony leftist activist. I disagree with him on some of his more libertarian views, but respect the way he handled himself. I can’t picture him attending this kind of event on this kind of day.
