Whoop whoop indeed.

I’m a little upset that you didn’t include any photos of the Trump rally, but I suppose I can post one that I took.

I don’t know much about Insane Clown Posse or Juggalos but I know they contributed the saying “Fuckin’ magnets—how do they work?” to the culture and that’s probably more than I ever will. So I have to wonder if they could be all bad. Did they kill anybody at their rally? No? Then there are probably fine people among them.

I wonder which is worse in the Conservative mind set: that the Juggalos affiliate themselves with the Commies, or that the Pinkos support that foul-mouthed Insane Clown Posse Gang?

At the same time, this was the scene at the Mother of All Rallies (!!!) in support of Donald Trump, where literally “hundreds” gathered: (and I’m so sorry it doesn’t display properly. I reduced it,
and it shows up fine in the draft text, butnot after I click post.)

I saw the “crowd” earlier for the Trump MOAR.

Too funny.

I think the public has a pretty clear preference when the insane clowns go head to head.

You’ve seen this, I suppose.

I feel the water against the dam that will not hold.

Nor I. First impression is they’re what you get if dead heads drank sugar water and threw trash instead of smoked weed and threw :v:

ETA: some do all of the above

Well, here’s Daniel Dale from the Toronto Star on Twitter:

So, yes, there appear to be some fine, kind, people among them. Possibly some of them have boundary issues, but they appear to mean well.

Also from the same tweet thread:

I saw estimates of between 100 and 200 people. But that is hard to tell from your picture, which is an extreme wide angle taken from the side of the crowd. Here’s a picture right in front of the stage, showing dozens of people.

Here is a picture from the National Mall webcam, at the height of the crowds. I saw this on twitter, with a comment, “Bots can’t rally.”

P.S. forget TPM image hosting, just use imgur.com

Excellent! Thank you soooo much!

Trump needs to get the hook, boot, “You’re fired!”

The sooner, the better.

People I’ve never heard of conducting a protest I hadn’t read about ahead of time. Must be a slow news day.

With all due respect, your photo seems a little too brown to be a Tramp rally. I must have seen it from a different angle, so here’s mine:

More on the Juggalo rally speakers from Daniel Dale’s twitter thread:

First speaker: Juggalos don't care if people are white, gay, black, trans, "fat as fuck" - "we're different, not dangerous."

Juggalo speaker warns Justin Bieber fans that they could be next. Juggalos chant: “Bie-ber! Bie-ber!” This is amazing

Jugalette Laura King calls for solidarity from non-fans. “Today,” she concludes, “we are all clowns.”

The Juggalos give a big “whoop whoop” to “hating Confederate monuments.”

The next speaker identifies as a black Puerto Rican pansexual Jugalette community organizer Packers fan member of the Beyhive.

After the unbelievable number of “whoop whoops,” the most popular Juggalo March chant is “family.” Followed by “fuck that shit.”

ICP’s Violent J: “We’re the good guys here today. We’re actually in the right this time!”

There’s plenty more at Dale’s twitter thread. I haven’t even included photos of the signs.

Edited to Add: I love the way that last guy says “We’re actually in the right this time!” like he’s completely bewildered by it.
