They don’t have much in common besides being just awful, bigoted, and black Americans. Chappelle has far more in common with Ricky Gervais and J.K. Rowling in his awfulness while Thomas is more like Samuel Alito, Brett Kavenaugh, and Rudy Giuliani (who is himself the most knockoff possible version of Roy Cohn).

Except one is a useless celebrity that can be ignored into irrelevance, and the other is a Supreme Court justice with the direct ability to aid in destroying our democracy.

Chappelle’s shitty politics really disappointed me as I became aware of them.
