This fucking quote

Everything seems absolute, and any opinion I respect is way more nuanced than these binary choices they keep putting in front of us. I don’t see the world in red or blue.”

He just doesn't get it

Nonbinary Chappelle???

I'll grant that the most common opinions in America tend not to match up with what many believe to be "the extreme end" of red and blue. I'd even say Russian bots have spent time falsely convincing us of what most Republicans are like - to try to manufacture more rage and hopelessness.

In Chappelle's case, I predict it's basically just enlightened centrism. Could be cured by playing Disco Elysium.
