‘Now you're Dead': Trump supporters fire back after rocker bans them from shows
Winter said in an Instagram video posted on June 14 that 'if you are a Christian and you're watching this and you voted for Donald Trump,' then 'you are not allowed to come to my shows.'
Since his video, the band has received a surge of comments on otherwise unrelated recent posts, criticizing Winter's political views.
'Now you're Dead jumpsuit apparatus cus you killed your career,' one comment read.
Another individual wrote, 'The Left loves to market itself as the movement of peace, love and tolerance...right up until you disagree.'
The band and Winter also faced backlash for disabling comments on certain Instagram posts and privatizing their X accounts.
'Smart move turning off comments...,' another comment reads. 'Your entire fan base from the 2000s' are all tired of the liberal BS and you make the stupid mistake of pandering to the wrong side? Good luck, boys.. Good Luck...'
'Hey Ronnie Winter, first you block anyone who disagrees after you speak about love and tolerance. Now, you turn off comments' another commenter said. 'Sounds hypocritical. You need to come to terms that not everyone thinks like you. Accept disagreements and move on.'
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus formed in 2003 in Middleburg, Florida. The emo-pop band is best known for its 2006 major-label debut, 'Don't Fake It.'
The platinum-certified project peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 and contained the smash hit 'Face Down.' The single peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified five-times platinum by the RIAA.
The band has released four more albums — 'Lonely Road' (2009), 'AM I the Enemy' (2011), '4″ (2014) and 'The Awakening' (2018) — but none have matched the success of their debut.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is currently on tour, with upcoming shows scheduled through November. The band will perform at Crystal Ballroom in Somerville on Aug. 24.

Big sister tries to help dress baby brother—what happens is pure two under two chaos
A toddler. A pair of tiny socks. And one very wiggly baby. In the viral TikTok posted by @marsmomdiary, a determined sibling takes on a mission that every parent knows is borderline impossible: dressing a baby who wants absolutely no part of it. The goal? Slip socks onto her squirmy little brother's feet. The result? A hilarious, heart-melting battle of wills. Misses. Tries again. Baby kicks. Socks flop. There's no frustration—just pure, unfiltered persistence from a pint-sized caregiver whose fine motor skills haven't quite caught up with her determination. Parents watching can't help but see the sweetness behind the struggle. The video now has over 2.8 million views in just one week. Why this moment matters more than we think On the surface, it's a funny sibling moment. But watch closely and you'll see something bigger: the earliest flickers of caregiving instincts. Even in toddlerhood, older siblings often mirror the nurturing behaviours they've observed from parents—rocking dolls, patting backs, offering toys… and yes, attempting to put socks on a wiggly baby. These clumsy, love-soaked efforts help plant the seeds for empathy, patience, and problem-solving. Trying to help is a crucial developmental step. Even if the execution is clumsy, the intent lays the foundation for prosocial skills. By encouraging these attempts (and laughing through the chaos), parents help children strengthen bonds with their siblings while learning resilience. Related: The ups and downs of helping a toddler prepare for the arrival of a new sibling The universal struggle: dressing a moving baby Any parent will tell you that dressing a baby is an Olympic sport. The kicking legs, the rolling, the grabby hands. Add a toddler 'helper' into the mix and you've got a comedy sketch in the making. That's why this video hits so hard for parents. It taps into that shared memory bank of impossible-but-hilarious dressing sessions. It's the chaos, the giggles, and the 'almost got it!' moments that make it irresistible to watch (and rewatch). What people are saying TikTok commenters couldn't get enough of both the effort and the baby's sass: @tanique1: 'U know what, I'm a baby.. I don't have time for this.'@agentstatic: 'He said, matter of fact it's warm in here, you don't need socks.'@tapinnchill: 'He was trying so hard.'@kubafalkowski33: 'He was like: nah do it yourself.' Related: 'Did it hurt?': A sibling's sweet reaction to his little sister's boo-boo melts hearts Why we should cheer for the 'trying' phase Child development specialists remind us that the attempt is everything. The act of wanting to help—even without success—matters far more than the outcome. These moments show a child's willingness to engage, to connect, and to contribute to family life. And for parents? It's a reminder to value progress over perfection. Whether it's a toddler offering a pacifier, fetching a nappy, or valiantly attempting sock duty, these small acts are early seeds of empathy. So, the next time your toddler tries to 'help' with the baby, resist the urge to take over. Let them fumble. Let them try. Because one day, those same wobbly attempts might turn into the steady, confident care of a lifelong friend. Solve the daily Crossword
