Have you heard of reactance Theory?
It basically states that people will react to a something they perceive as a challenge of something they identify with, or perceive as a loss of freedom, with reactivity and defensiveness.
Rather than explaining your point of view, you approach and ask their opinions with curiosity. Listen openly.
I think something that works pretty well related to this is, find something at the core of how they feel about things that you actually agree with, and compliment them on being right about that. Then talk about what you think the implications of that thing are.
