Insane Clown Posse Endorse Kamala Harris
Insane Clown Posse Endorse Kamala Harris
Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, telling The Daily Show, “I want her to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom.”
Juggalos have always been weirdly wholesome and okay as people. Yeah, it's a weird subculture to me. But not bad. The biggest negative I can say about the juggalos that I've met is that they all want to talk about ICP and marijuana all the time. But they treat people decently, and seem to be fairly progressive. I can live with that.
Apparently even insane people know not to vote for a fascist!
WHOOP WHOOP!
They don't know how magnets work but they know fascists suck.
Fucking MAGAs, how do they work?
No really, how do you function being so god damn stupid you think a man who qualifies for being the Beast of Revelation is God's Chamion?
It's racism. Always has been.
even if i dont care for everything else they represent, i applaude their touch of sensibility here
They are famous and that's all that matters in amerikkka
and thats one of their more boggling representations
A guy in clown makeup calling himself Violent J: "I am endorsing Kamala Harris because she's a Democrat and I love my mom."
Really hard to argue... For several reasons
Hopefully that helps with Michigan.
The Daily Show’s Troy Iwata did an excellent piece about the Gathering of the Juggalos. I wonder if his interview with Violent J had an effect on this decision.
Edit: oh, I posted this before I read the article. This interview is what they’re considering the endorsement.
If you haven't seen it, American Juggalo is a very good short documentary on the subject. They are mostly a bunch of outcasts that have found a place to express themselves and find like minded individuals. A surprisingly wholesome and accepting crowd.....minus the violence lol
Content warning: NSFW, Nudity, Drugs, Alcohol, Language.
Makes sense, Juggalos hate fascists and despite Kamala being a cop, Trump is the bigger fascist.
Although it is weird to see Eminem and ICP on the same side of something.
Also Taylor Swift. What a world we live in.
Although it is weird to see Eminem and ICP on the same side of something
I was curious so I looked it up.
In 1997 Eminem put out flyers for a show that said "with ICP (maybe)"
And they got kind of pissed about that, which they have a right to. But they've been over it for 20 years now.
Fucking crazy it's 2024 and that was almost 30 years ago.
I was undecided, but this did it for me.
Kamala promised to explain how magnets work.
As an old wrestling fan from the late 90s, how did 2024 manage to make me cheer for the ICP while booing the undertaker and Steve Austin?
Cuz Steve always sucked
3:16 is how many dicks he sucked at a time and for how many hours
Hey, let's not discourage dick sucking marathons.
And Hulk Hogan
Fuckin Hulkster man, but it turns out he's always been a dick, ask Jesse Ventura
Speaking with comedian Troy Iwata for a recent segment on The Daily Show, Violent J confirmed that Harris is his preferred pick for the White House, saying “I want her to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom.”
Say what you want about Juggalos, but this is likely to get Kamala significant votes.
More than Dick Cheney or Lizzo (look up the lawsuits from last year if you don't know).
I'd even say this is bigger than Eminem the other day. Juggalos are a very close knit group, and if Violent J says vote, they're gonna vote.
Edit:
The Daily Show segment
Especially since the juggalo crowd is by and large rurally based, they overlap a large generally Republican Voting demographic.
He didn't say go vote tho, he said he hopes she wins. I think it would probably help "voting juggalos" be more likely to pick Harris. But I also think many of them are nonvoting, and Violent J hasn't necessarily given them any strong direction to go vote in this message IMO.
But I also think many of them are nonvoting,
And even if they don't watch the whole episode, they'll watch that clip because he's in it.
That's what outreach should be, reaching out to people who's values align with the Dem voting base, but aren't politically active
Not changing the candidates policy in an attempt to "win over" people who vote Republican.
It's easier to get someone who agrees with you to vote, then get a voter who doesn't agree with you to vote for you.
That’s fresh.
haha, that's a pretty good segment.
by the terms of the juggalo-furry alliance, the furs are called to also vote
We been on the block to vote. Republicans have nipped at us one too many times and many many of us are LGBT. 😤
The alliance has your back 🤝
The furries are voting
Y'all are an odd bunch, but I'm happy to have you on side.
This is going to give my Trump-loving prepper brother in law an aneurysm.
Can you post a video?
Juggalos are surprisingly decent, given their image. I may not be down with the clown, myself, but they're alright
I haven't exactly spent a lot of time in Juggalo circles, but the few I have met have all been great people, the types of people who would literally give you the shirt off their back without a second thought. Generally not the brightest bulbs out there, but they also tend to be the rare type of person who can recognize that about themselves and are willing to seek out and listen to people who are more knowledgeable (unless we're talking about scientists and magnets) which is actually pretty amazing, that's not a common quality to find in any group of people
I generally kind of think of juggalos as those kids in school who were a little too weird to be "normal" kids, and not smart enough to be "nerds" some of them have some issues, maybe more than average, but most of them are just trying to get by with what they've got.
They've also started to become the adults in the room sometimes. I'm not sad to see it, but it feels weird.
As for women’s rights, he believes in them (“they have the right to be the fuckin’ shit”), and as for environmental conservation, he thinks its time humans get over their superiority complex, saying, “Let me tell you what a superior animal is: a whale.”
American politics are so fucked that actual clowns have become the voice of reason.
The good weird tho, gotta discriminate
This will almost assuredly get her more votes than literally all of the press and air time Cheney has offered her.
Put some respekt on the Dark Carnival. There are over a million Juggaloes in America. Probably a couple dozen Juggalettes, too.
How about Juggalenbies?
Is this satire? I honestly can’t tell.
their dedicated following, known as Juggalos, is in the tens of thousands. Gatherings for ICP fans have drawn upwards of 20,000 people. Juggalos are known for their distinctive style, which includes face paint, clown costumes, and hatchet symbols. They've also developed their own slang and idioms. The National Gang Intelligence Center estimates that there are over one million self-proclaimed Juggalos in the United States, but 85–90% of them are non-criminal music fans.
That a lot of voters, I wouldn't say no to. And for some reason Ive found out that a lot of conservatives in the u.s think juggalos are a crazy street gang like in the warriors
Too many cartoons. They took Batman Beyond seriously.
They hold a music festival every year called the gathering of the juggalos, usually somewhere in the Midwest, that attracts around 10k people per year. They're not a huge underground culture in America but they are there and disproportionately higher populations living in Midwest and Central swing states. Most of the juggalos I've met are kind and just want to get high and listen to music about horror movies and wrestling and stuff like that. They have been anti-science and education in the past in their anti-establishment rhetoric which is probably the worst part of the subculture.
That's because they're actually normal people.
Scientists getting them pissed...checks out, unfortunately pretty normal in this country.
Same as here unfortunately.
Just had an argument with a "Born Again Christian" who doesn't want Tampons for free in the women's bathrooms, because they should be purchased by parents and were personal care.
When I said it was just like toilet paper, he said "the toilets are unhygenic and they need wrapping" or some nonsense. Apparently plastic sealed tampons aren't ok, but unsealed toilet paper is perfectly fine in public bathrooms. I also found out unsurprisingly, he is a trucker (here in Australia, it seems like the Truck community is causing 90% of the problems)
Are juggalos still considered a terrorist organization?
"According to the National Gang Intelligence Center, there are more than one million self-proclaimed Juggalos across the United States. It is estimated that 85–90% of self-described Juggalos are peaceful, non-criminal music fans. The other 10–15% make up the Juggalo subculture's criminal element"
a million.
Those are impressive numbers. Sincerely, I'm sure I never hear about them because they're so well behaved.
Well, 85-90% of them.
The endorsement I've been waiting for
Damn, I have a new found respect for the posse.
Are they still figuring out how magnets work?
If Richard Feynman can't explain it in a way he's satisfied with himself, I'm okay with rapping clowns being open about not understanding it.
Hell ya, I always send the Feynman video about this when it comes up. What a great communicator.
What is this magnet thing with juggalos?
A verse from Miracles, implying that magnets are miraculous: Water, fire, air, and earth / Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
Another, often quoted from the same track: I don't wanna talk to no scientists / Y'all fuckers be lying, and getting me pissed
Insane Clown Posse - Miracles:
I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it's all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
That's why I'm surprised they endorsed Harris. Trump doesn't know how they work either. You'd think they would find friendship in their common imbecility.

They live in a society
ICP for the win!!! Hopefully that resonates with GenX.
I think ICP's fanbase has at least as many millennials. ICP first got big in the late 90s, which is when millennials were teenagers. I don't think many 20-30 year olds were jumping on the new ICP train
Whoop Whoop
It would be weird if they didn't lol
