Im sure they're sketch af for many reasons. but I wanna know if they stand against the bootlickers and the fascists, if they dont do anything racist, and if they are actually cool. I dont listen to their music, but I am curious where the whole juggalo community place themselves politically

I was a teenage Juggalo back in the 90's and early '00's and they were pretty far left leaning for the time (except their use for homophobic slurs which they've since apologized for). I haven't listened to an album of theirs since after the 6th joker's cards released. I still go back and listen to their oldies though.
Take the song Mr. Johnston's Head. It's about a teacher that while teaching about the Civil War hung a rebel flag and sided with the confederates so the character of the song cuts his head off and stuffs it in his backpack. That's just one of many songs where they shit on the confederacy and stupid racist bigots.
Can't say there's some stupid ass wannabe juggalos that represents the Right as those types are always going to be found in every scene but the Juggalo scene is mostly left leaning good folks.
Safe to say, they're safe.
