Just days after as estimated five million people turned up at 2,100 “No Kings” protest across the U.S. to decry the current administration’s divisive policies, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus singer Ronnie Winter cordially invited Donald Trump supporters to stay away from his band’s shows.

“I actually follow what Jesus says. If you’re a Christian and you’re watching this and you voted for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are not allowed to come to my shows. I don’t want you there,” said the vocalist for the Florida-bred hardcore band in an Instagram video. “Don’t come to my shows. It’s awesome that you love ‘Face Down.’ It’s not for you. It’s not your song. It is not your song.”
While it was unclear what spurred the post, Winter — who has long criticized Trump and his supporters, especially after the singer was slammed for being “woke” for encouraging the band’s fans to get vaccinated and wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic — was unequivocal in his message to MAGA fans.
“I thought I was pretty clear about all this stuff in 2020. As you notice on my Instagram, I did not remove any of that stuff from the Stay Woke campaign. I guess you guys are calling it from 2020,” he said in the video. “Look, man, the thing about being woke is you’re awake. And once you’re awake, you can never go to sleep. And not only has nothing changed, but everything they said was going to happen, the woke people has happened. You have done nothing but prove them right.”
And, in case his message titled “If you call yourself a Christian please watch” gets interpreted incorrectly, Winter offered refunds to MAGA followers who have purchased tickets to RJA shows, but noted that his stay-away request isn’t valid for just the next three-plus years of Trump’s second term.
“If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows or ever, not just these four years. Don’t come to my shows because you’re going to hear a lot of woke propaganda, and you’re going to hear the actual words of Jesus,” he said. “You’re going to see a lot of acceptance from all areas of life and races, and you’re just going to see a lot of harmony. That’s not what you’re about. Don’t come. Refunds are available. Forever, don’t come. Goodbye.”
