Metal Bands React To Trump's Impending Presidency

Well, it looks like GWAR's election rigging and Anal Trump's political grindcore couldn't stop the Trump Train.
The rock and metal world have begun to react to the reality of President-Elect Donald Trump this morning, and as expected, it isn't pretty. While a few were ecstatic (I see you there Ted) and a few have been oddly silent (where is Dave Mustaine?), most of the response has been less than positive.
Below is a sampling of musicians across the genre spectrum expressing their thoughts at learning of who ended up winning the electoral college vote last night in the U.S.

Do yourself a favor: find some friends in the black/latino/LGBT+ communities tonight. They're going to need your help- possibly protection.

Do you think he'll wait until January to take out Isis or will he be a bro about it and tell Obama how to do it now? https://t.co/gqCRDmMw5Z

Silver lining. When America inevitably does elect its first woman president, she will be worthy of the office.

I think of all these I agree with Phil Labonte the most here. I didn't support either of the major candidates, and the third party ones were pretty bad this time too. This might be a setback, but Clinton would have just tread water for four years, and now when we do get a female President, it can be someone we're excited to vote for instead of holding our noses while pulling the lever.
