1) Get authoritative persons or organizations to agree with you -- managers, journalists, distro maintainers if it's a Linux thing, etc. Go over your opponents' heads to get buy-in.
2) Spread the narrative around that your opponents are graybeards who refuse to upskill, luddites, reactionaries, racists/sexists, covert Nazis, pedophiles, etc. Get your authoritative friends on board with this explanation of your opposition. Make their opposition to your proposal their problem, and tie that opposition in to whatever undesirable qualities they possess or are purported to possess.
3) Soldier onward as if it were a fait accompli. Convince your authoritative friends from step 1 that it is a fait accompli. March to victory unopposed, since no one would want to be associated with whatever undesirable group you chose in step 2.
