Not too late to catch up

That just means you haven't found the thing that speaks to their soul yet, just something that they agree with on a surface level and doesn't incept them with a will to unpack anything personally. For me my de-libining came after 2016 when I read what the groypers were saying and thoroughly read intellectual dark web stuff and saw that the lib brand of alternating snark, hysteria and patting themselves on the back for being the "decent" side was completely toothless against and ignorant to these rising political currents.

All of the Democrat messaging I saw felt designed to make them look good only within the parameters of right wing framing, and depended on taking the right's bad faith arguments at face value ("I thought you loved the troops but now you're attacking Gold Star families? Busted!"). I saw how the dirtbag left didn't mince words when talking about troops or back down when another self-righteous fake outrage campaign was started by the right, I saw Richard Spencer get punched once, lose the majority of his following and disprove the notion that the "marketplace of ideas" was the best antidote to hate, and I never looked back.

The person has to be so captured by an idea that they seek to learn more by themselves and replace one all day media diet with another

I think the word "said" is being overlooked here, he meant there is not the same type of anti-Black and anti-Latino racism and history of redlining in the UK as there has been in the US and that pit bull bans there do not seem to be geared in the same degree toward barring select races from moving into select neighborhoods. He wasn't trying to say the UK has never had any history of slavery and racism with any race, just that attributing a pit bull ban to race in the fashion that the OP cites does not square with the dynamics behind the UK pit bull ban--which almost exclusively affects chud white people.

To be fair Black and Latino communities are where overt display of machismo and toxic masculinity might manifest in ownership of a pit bull. Furthermore in poorer neighborhoods with higher crime pit bulls sometimes get used in lieu of guns to threaten and rob people. If you read DMX's memoir he talked about how he would go around with his large muscular pit bull and take things from people, then use the dog to intimidate them into walking away.

I would prefer it if she wasn't self consciously performing for an audience at all times with her forced laughter, or her awkwardly shoehorned in "as a woman" stands.

It is time that purposely waiting for your debate opponent to interject so you can say "Excuse me sir, I am speaking!" or waiting all debate to work in the line "That little girl was me!" so you can concurrently fire out a tweet to sell t-shirts bearing that slogan, or similar parlor tricks stop working on people.

The character Kemi from Veep was clearly a mockery of her.

Abortions for some and miniature flags for others

You're also never able to meet and strategize with the thousands of other small donors to agree upon a single set of policies you can demand that the politician fulfill, whereas a handful of rich bundlers can get together for one dinner party, raise as much money as you and thousands of your fellow schmucks do, and hash out a cohesive list of policy demands that satisfies everyone at the table while being easy for the beneficiary politician to grant.

Plus those rich donors are few enough in number that they can collectively shut down the politician's money hose over a simple text chain if he/she breaks promises, whereas you won't be able to get the scattered thousands of small money donors together to collectively bargain for anything if the politician's actions leave you all completely abandoned, and if you choose to stop giving they'll be able to go elsewhere to quickly fleece more small money donors.
