The success of Andrew Yang has been one of the unexpected sub-plots of the 2020 presidential race. And his fan base is surely one of the most devoted. With a $1,000-a-month universal basic income proposal, a pessimistic outlook of economic havoc and a self-deprecating humour, Yang has mounted a surprising surge. Politically unknown when he started the campaign, he now enjoys a devoted internet following known as the "Yang Gang" and the honourable title of "meme king" among the Democratic presidential candidates.
