Try appealing to their egoism. Don't say that the ones that have nothing must be helped. Tell them that if they lose everything, society will help them. Let's say they have a farm. If a year the crops don't give enough or the animals get sick, they'll be helped by society.

Also point out how social programs often end up costing less in taxes in the long run.

Our healthcare system is the most expensive per person in taxes in the world but we get nothing from it if we switched to universal healthcare we would likely end up saving money in taxes

Use all of the things that conservatives say they value and point out how right wing ideas do not actually uphold these values

Small government

Ice agents rounding everyone up isn't very small government now is it? Its also very expensive

The constitution

Point out how our constitutional rights are being taken away from us right now

Freedom

Is it really freedom to be controlled by corporations?

Meritocracy

Point out how the game is rigged in favor of the rich

Patriotism

Is it really patriotic to be in favor of laws that hurt your fellow Americans?
