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.
haha, that’s a pretty good segment.
That’s fresh.
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.
I was undecided, but this did it for me.
So you’re a juggalo now?
Well, your mom got that clussy, so…
Oh yeah, def a juggalo. Corny af
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.
They don’t know how magnets work but they know fascists suck.
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.

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 would have shown up if I were them-surprise Eminem at his own show and support the Michigan music scene at once.
Edit: perhaps not just the Michigan music scene, I assumed this was before Eminem got big, but 1997 is definitely after his big break
“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.
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
Damn, I have a new found respect for the posse.
That’s because they’re actually normal people.
The endorsement I’ve been waiting for
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
I guess I wasn’t really watching wrestling by then, but recently I found out that he was on the run for like a couple days and surrendered to police in 2002 after beating the shit out of his wife Debra. Dude is a piece of shit.
And Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan’s been a known POS for a long time. I held out hope about guys like undertaker at least being reasonably people
ICP for the win!!! Hopefully that resonates with GenX.
I think the ICP fans include at least as many millennials, maybe even more
I can only think of two times I’ve seen ICP in pop culture, once with their whole magnets thing, and once on Workaholics which is a heavily millennial show.
Makes sense. Millennial generation starts with people born in 1981, and ICP became big in the late 90s. So millennials were the teenagers when ICP hit big. I doubt many people in their 20’s and 30’s were jumping on the ICP train.

even if i dont care for everything else they represent, i applaude their touch of sensibility here
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.
