With U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration just days away, the federal government announced it is sending a slew of drones and two Black Hawk helicopters to the shared border to begin beefed-up patrols β€” along with 11th-hour hope it will be enough to placate the incoming administration.

Names can also be descriptions, I was using those words as a description, not as a reference to the band. (Of which I know nothing other than the name and their supposed confusion over magnets or some shit.) If they are anti-tRump they have that going for them at least.

Absolutely, /s wasn't really appropriate for my last comment, as while I'm not a Juggalo(/Juggalette/Juggala as their rabid fan base want to be referred to as) I do definitely feel they are given more shit than they deserve.
I wasn't trying to be aggro, and I'm sorry if it came off as me trying to start a fight.
ICP is just a band that makes silly music and fosters a highly inclusive, open minded and progressive community. Are they weird? Absolutely. Are they intentionally othering themselves? From what I know, yeah, as a statement against society. Just think that using the name as a descriptor is along the same lines as calling Trump a sociopath, you shouldn't dehumanise sociopaths and ICP like that....
