This is well supported by research [1].

System 1 is based on quick, emotionally based assessments. It's where your flight-or-flight response lies. Only once System 1 has sufficiently engaged, can System 2 take over and slowly chew on it.

Apparently, the best way to change someone's mind is if you engage them in a way that doesn't (apparently) activate their threat system.
