Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two decades…

Then you know that Dave Chappelle is one of the biggest comedians in the world – and from the accounts of his fans and contemporaries, he’s one of the best to ever do it.

During the heyday of “Chappelle’s Show,” his wildly popular show on Comedy Central, he was an equal-opportunity offender…

He made fun of the worst parts of both sides of the aisle – and make no mistake, both sides have some pretty bad ideas.

Comedy should have the freedom and license to make fun of anything and EVERYTHING…

And Dave Chappelle has built his career by taking that concept to heart. He doesn’t seem to care who he offends.

He is a TRUE centrist…

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

You can have ideas that do cross lines—but being in favor of nationalized healthcare doesn’t make you a liberal any more than being pro-gun makes you a conservative…

Most people on the planet have ideas that fall somewhere in the middle.

Centrist Is The NEW Right… To The Left

Chappelle knows that…

He did a whole special on how terrible the cancel culture is, delivering a stinging yet hilarious commentary on the Left’s propensity to ostracize random people for behavior they deem offensive.

One of the best responses in the special was when somebody in the audience asked him, “What will you do if Trump gets re-elected?”

Dave calmly sits on a stool, takes a drag from his offensive cigarette, and says, “What will I do if Trump gets re-elected?… Probably get a significant tax break.”

It was both a perfect response – and the truth.

However…

Dave isn’t a conservative. In fact, he’s already come out in support of DNC candidate Andrew Yang.

Now…

Before you get all up in arms about his membership in the “Yang Gang,” keep in mind that this doesn’t make him a Liberal.

Liking the ideas of somebody on the Left doesn’t make you Liberal. It may make you Lib-curious, but not a Liberal…

And this was something he let people know via an Instagram video.

A Centrist’s Attitude

“I don’t look at Trump supporters as my enemy at all,” Chappelle said. “I understand why people voted for Trump, I understand people are desperate. And I think that Andrew is right… you run against the reasons that Trump got elected. I got friends on both sides of the political aisle, I got fans on both sides of the political aisle. A lot of people say professionally it’s not wise to support any candidate, but this idea is so good, that I think it should exist. And I think the fountainhead of many of the good ideas on the table this year are coming from a single source — Andrew Yang. And for some reason, no one’s paying attention. This guy is the origin of a platform that really does address where I think the country needs to go.”

It’s refreshing to hear an entertainer be HONEST and not try to say something he doesn’t believe just because he’s trying to gain favor with the woke Left.

He may support Yang (as crazy as that may sound to us)…

But he doesn’t hate Trump or the people who voted for him – which is a vastly different attitude than almost every Left-leaning elitist out there.

There is a middle ground…

And it looks like Dave will be the first Hollywood heavyweight to not only embrace it but openly promote it.

And anything in a positive direction…

Anything that helps bridge the gap between the two sides should be celebrated.
