In my experience acting curious and asking questions is the best way to change someone’s opinion. Make them think about the subject and realize by themselves why they might be wrong.
“Acting” implies you’re pretending. Actually be curious. Ask questions to understand the other party’s position. Maybe you’ll get to learn more about what life is like in this other person’s shoes. Maybe you’ll find that there’s actually no way that this person can verify that what you’re arguing is true and the only way there is to trust someone who has repeatedly broken their trust. Maybe you’ll actually learn that you’re the one who’s wrong.
