Ethel Cain has expressed her thoughts on the US presidential election results, saying that American politics is a “breeding ground for violent hatred”.

She also tells Trump supporters that she hopes “that peace never finds you.”The singer-songwriter shared on her Tumblr page yesterday (November 6), talking about how the country got to this point, believing that voters would “vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless.”“It’s not even about Trump at this point.

He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem.”“This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other.

There is no solidarity and there is no love,” she continues. “Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred.”She then addresses Trump supporters directly: “However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you.”“Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.”She does, however, end her post on an actionable note. “Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess.
