Overview

  • Ronnie Winter announced on Instagram that anyone who voted for President Trump—even self-identified Christian supporters—is permanently prohibited from attending the band’s shows.
  • He argued that Trump voters would not embrace the “woke propaganda” and “actual words of Jesus” he plans to present during performances.
  • The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is providing full ticket refunds to any Trump supporter who has already purchased passes.
  • Winter later explained that his original message was triggered by a pro-Trump family member and was meant to challenge mainstream Christian interpretations.
  • The incident highlights a growing pattern of musicians taking explicit political stances, following similar critiques from Green Day and Bruce Springsteen.
