Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Is this satire? I honestly can’t tell.

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.

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.
