I think most people get to a common ground on these sort of things if the question stops being "The republicans/democrats want to steal your money / something else" and are just asked to consider the veil of ignorance

You get to design / vote on the tax system that you will live under, but then you are born, and you don't know where or to whom. Will you be Jeff Bezo's littlest kid? Or a crack baby? Who knows, but choose wisely.

(frankly the veil of ignorance works really well for most politics, and is really easy to understand)
