A Pro-Trump Rally Is Now Scheduled at the Same Time, Place as the Juggalo March on Washington

Source: Spin

n the comparatively innocent political days of just last summer, Insane Clown Posse announced plans for the Juggalo March on Washington. The stated purpose: to protest the FBI’s characterization of the group’s fanbase as a “hybrid gang” and stand up for juggalos’ rights as Americans. The march is scheduled for noon on Saturday, September 16 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Several months of political turmoil later, the Juggalos face some competition. As MetalSucks points out, a pro-Trump gathering called the Mother of All Rallies has scheduled itself at the opposite end of the National Mall on September 16. “Rally participants will demand protection for traditional American culture while they express their love for the United States and the America First agenda,” the MOAR’s organizers claimed in a press release. On its website, the MOAR lists co-sponsoring groups affiliated with the “alt-right,” including the Proud Boys and the Alt Knights.

Hilariously, MOAR also bills itself as the “Woodstock of American Rallies.” The musical lineup so far consists of Madison Rising, a band you may remember for a spectacularly bad rendition of the national anthem at Daytona a few years ago.

Better than Cheerwine. Does that make me a Juggalo, or do I need face paint and dress like a Pacific Northwest construction worker?

I take it they'll be honoring Native Americans and denouncing Russian interference in our elections then?

Both standing up against fascism and nazis in their own communities and community at large:

Two subcultures generally looked down upon by society at large, but they're still standing up for what's right.

Not a fan of the ICP, but this really could be epic--and I hate alt-right/Trumpite/Nazis far more.

OH, please. What rights of theirs have been abrogated? They should be grateful we are as tolerant of them as we are.
