Chappelle endorsed Yang in mid-January and, before a recent performance, in Iowa, called Yang “ inspiring.” verdict,” Chappelle said, adding, “I’m wishing Donald Trump luck, and I’m going to give him a chance.” Hetterly suspected that Chappelle regretted not being more politically active before the election and that his recent campaigning for Yang was a result. In 2016, after Trump’s victory, Chappelle went on “Saturday Night Live” and, as Hetterly put it, “just sort of mocked the white outrage about Trump being elected.” “I haven’t seen white people this mad since the O.J. “I’m kind of wearing a little bit of my political ideology on my sleeve this time,” he said, pointing to his T-shirt, which, in a play on the title of a White Stripes song, read “ ICKY TRUMP.” (Hetterly purchased it at Third Man Records, Jack White’s store in Nashville.) Chappelle’s journey to supporting Yang had some echoes of his own, Hetterly suggested. I met Hetterly on Wednesday night outside of the Township Auditorium, in Columbia, South Carolina, where Dave Chappelle was about to perform in support of the Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. The overwhelmingly white crowd shouted chants of “Bill’s a rapist” and “Lock her up.” A campaign volunteer told him, “Three hundred thousand undocumented immigrants are infiltrating our borders, and we need Trump to protect us.” Later, Hetterly wrote, “I’m ready to focus on what unites us as a nation,” adding, “laughter makes the world better.” He told me recently, “I really had no idea he was going to win.” He was struck by the tone of menace, despite the presence of children.

He printed “Asians for Trump” shirts and signs that read “Give us a call, we know how to build walls.” The event was not as funny as he’d hoped. Four years ago, Jonathan Hetterly, a forty-three-year-old Asian-American mental-health counsellor, attended a Donald Trump rally as a joke.
