Ironically I talked about Kant with my son 2 days ago. He literally couldn't get through the first sentence without disagreeing. Kant argues that the only thing that is good in itself is good will. However it is trivial to find ways in which good will leads to bad things, and therefore having good will is not necessarily good at all!
From my son's perspective, the argument did not improve from there.
So people who disagree with you are not necessarily going to be convinced by an appeal to Kant.
