Jones Town? they drank the "kool-aid" What does it mean when someone says you drank the Kool-Aid?

The phrase “drinking the Kool-Aid” refers to follower ship at its worse. It was coined after a delusional, pseudo-guru named Jim Jones led his cult, the Peoples Temple, to mass suicide. Over 900 people, including 304 children, killed themselves by drinking from a vat of g****-flavored drink laced with cyanide. On Nov. 18, 1978, Rep. Jackie Speier was shot five times on a remote airstrip in Guyana, South America. Her boss, Rep. Leo J. Ryan and four others lay dead nearby, killed by gunfire as they tried to escape Jonestown, the commune built by cult leader Jim Jones.

How soon we forget history. Trump has built a cult around him that far exceeds Jim Jones. But, the delusional will be well, delusional. The misinformation on COVID-19 during his tenure has caught up with a lot of Republicans. Red states far exceed blue states for Covid deaths. Did Trump supporters "drink the Kool-aid?"

World War II was a time when women became part of the military. The Waves, the WAC's. Although it took them another 30 years to receive the same benefits. Quite a few were from Jefferson County.
