Most clowns and circus performers are left leaning bordering on communist. You kinda have to be if you’re a societal outcast. Obviously, as with all communities, there are exceptions.
So please don’t bring us down to their level.
Signed, a circus performer.
I’d also assume you’d need to leverage empathy to read the reaction of your audience and adjust your performance accordingly. It’s a very different craft than a musical performance, where narcissism is advantageous. It would probably be very challenging to be a narcissistic clown.

I’ve had this idea for clown gear as protest attire for a while. First, you can put some body armor on under the oversized clown suit, and some protective headgear under the wig. Second, the face paint will help fool both biological and technological facial recognition. Finally, and most importantly, the cops will look like absolute fools beating and teargassing a bunch of clowns.
This idea deserves an international awareness campaign. Absolutely brilliant.
Maybe we can get ICP on board
That gives him way too much credit. Clowns and circus performers are traditionally much more accepting, but intolerant to bigotry, racism or any type of ableism.
Trump its a carnival barker, a swindler challenging you to a game of luck where those cards are stacked in his favor and nothing is as it appears to be
This just reminds me of how leftists started talking about Clownworld in 2016 and the magats latched onto it because its a self-censored insult they don’t have to think about. Now anytime you see magats they’re constantly throwing 🤡 emojis around and calling everyone clowns. They love it, along with NPC and woke and other things they’ve stolen from leftists, hollowed out of meaning, and now use constantly to prevent thinking. Empty shells of people filled with hate and facebook memes.
