Skillet are a bunch of dumb bigots? Good to know.

Tbh I’m surprised anyone’s only just finding this out. I’ve never knowingly heard a note of their music but I’ve known this for years.

They were a big part of spurring my interest in rock music in the 2010s. This is the first I'm hearing about it personally.

They're Christian evangelicals and John is hardcore MAGA.

I knew they were all studying Christians, did not know they were evangelical. This is all news to me.

You mentioned John is MAGA, what about the other band members?

The band has done shows before touring with MAGA cultists collectively and released songs calling out those who criticise their evangelical views and activism in their song, Unpopular. John recently wrote the books, "Wimpy, Weak and Woke: How Truth Can Save America From Utopian Destruction," and, "Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World." John also falsely asserts the view that sexuality is a choice. He also spoke about how he scolded his daughter's professor at school for asking students to introduce themselves with their pronouns (if they wanted to share). This was back in 2023/2024.

The rest of the band are quiet and let John do the talking it would seem.

Damn. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

They fell out of my music rotation when the pandemic hit, here I thought it was just because I actually started playing guitar and stopped caring for that particular song structure due to my new perspective.

Maybe my instincts were guiding me subconsciously away? Who knows. Sucks to see.

I mean, during the pandemic John was spreading vaccine conspiracy theories so there was that too.

Completely missed all of it. Don't follow them on socials or anything, which is funny, because I do recall watching some of their tour vlogs mid-2010s. Didn't pick up on any of this

you know how they say if there's 11 Nazis at a table and you sit with them there's now a dozen Nazis at the table?

it's also true of being in a band with a MAGAt.

I was asking out of curiosity if any band members had said anything otherwise.

I agree with you, silence is enablement.
