Ronnie Winter trolled as he bans Trump supporters from attending his shows: 'Won't even watch for free'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ronnie Winter, lead singer of the early 2000s alternative rock band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, made it clear that if you voted for Donald Trump, you're not welcome at his concerts now or ever.

Winter, known for his band's 2006 hit 'Face Down', took to Instagram to deliver the message directly.

“If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows — forever, not just like these four years,” Winter declared. The statement quickly ignited backlash and support alike across social media platforms, where the clip spread rapidly. 

The 40-year-old rocker, whose band has maintained a cult following despite a quieter recent career, also specifically called out religious Trump voters. “If you’re Christian and you voted for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are not allowed to come to my shows. I don’t want you there. Don’t come to my shows,” Winter stated.

He continued, “Do not come to my shows because you’re going to hear a lot of propaganda, and you’re going to hear like the actual words of Jesus.”

He added that his shows are a space for diversity, inclusion, and harmony. “You’re going to see a lot of acceptance from all areas of life and races, and um, you’re just going to see a lot of harmony, OK?” he said. “That’s not what you’re about. Don’t come. Refunds are available. Forever, don’t come. Goodbye.”

Winter also mentioned the band's breakout hit 'Face Down'. “It’s awesome that you love Face Down, it’s not for you. It’s not your song, OK?” he said.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has not released a full-length album since 2018 but continues to tour and maintain a modest yet loyal fan base.

Winter also took a moment to respond to those who have criticized his progressive leanings over the years. “Look man, the thing about being woke is you’re awake, and once you’re awake you can never go to sleep,” he said, defending what he called the “woke community.”

“Not only has nothing changed, but everything they said was going to happen — the woke people — has happened,” he added. “You have done nothing but prove them right.”

Winter now joins a growing list of musicians using their platform to speak out against President Donald Trump.

Bruce Springsteen has openly criticized Trump during his current tour, warning of a “corrupt and treasonous” administration.

Guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine recently offered a blunt “F--- that guy” in reference to Trump, while Neil Young expressed fears over being detained during future performances in the US.

One user wrote on X, “Last album released in 2018, real relevant. Yawn.”

Another said, “Rock band frontman needs diet, exercise.”

Many questioned the band’s reach and popularity, with one person remarking, “I have no idea who this band is or what they sing.”

“I've never heard of this guy or his rock band, but I'm pretty sure he will not be able to enforce that policy,” another commented.

One individual declared, “I wouldn't even watch @redjumpsuit for free.”

“Bahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssaass!! You just lost THREE FANS,” another added.

“What are they gonna do, look up everyone’s voter registration at the door?” one netizen asked.
