@idea_enjoyer most people don't have opinions, and merely conform. They will always support "the current thing" as long as they perceive that they're on the side of the majority (even if they're not, the perception is all that's required).

The bad news is that you can't save them. The good news is that you don't need to. All you need to do is win, and they'll immediately conform and join you once your side is now perceived to be the majority.
