OTEP, the band led Otep Shamaya, once again slammed President Donald Trump in a new Facebook Post, saying:
“F*ck Trump. F*ck his supporters. He’s a racist, rapist sack of sewage. And any of you human suppositories that support him will be banned.
“F*ck your feelings. I’m a Patriot ??”
Last year, OTEP dropped a single from Kult 45, a song called “To The Gallows”, which is described in a press release as “a hyper-political outcry to the resistance to challenge Trump‘s falsehoods and hypocrisies.”
Shamaya said at the time: “Art is resistance. Art allows us to fight back without violence. This song, ‘To The Gallows’, is meant to shine a light on Traitor Trump‘s attacks on the Constitution, on health care, on the LGBTQ+, the African-American, Hispanic and Muslim communities, Dreamers, and women’s reproductive rights. Not to mention that this spurious president might have committed just a little bit of light treason, but this is why we rally, this is why we march, and this is why I write. Because when I look back some day, I want to know that I did everything in my power as an artist, activist and citizen, to stop him and his bigoted embryonic autocracy.”
