Which begs the question where did you get the analogy from?

It came from the time of this religious cult ran by the reverend
Jim Jones who took about 900 people with him to a place in the New Guinea Jungles of South America and had a commune type place where they tried to be self sufficent. There was reports of corruption and sexual perversion and a Rep went down to investigate the charges and the Representative was killed The
FBI started investigating Jim Jones, and to stopped from being arrested, him and his main people who were helping him run the place had everyone at a meeting and they had vats of Kool Aid
laced with poison and they all committed suicide by drinking the KOOL Aid, so that is where drinking the Kool Aid came from.

From Jim Jones. He was a cult leader and he convinced over 900 of his followers to drink poison in grape kool aid to commit suicide. Now the kool aid to used to acknowledge the sheep that follow exactly what the liberals say.

The kool aid reference is to imply that one who drinks the kool aid will do whatever or say whatever or believe whatever their leader tells them to. It's been a saying for as long as I can remember since the Jonesville incident.

Jim Jones poisoned hundreds of his followers by giving them laced Kool Aid.
Ever since then, Democrats are called Kool Aid Drinkers because they blindly follow the Democrat Bosses.
I think that Rush was the first one to point out the fact that Democrats were gullible lemmings.

996 people drank "Kool Aid" laced with cyanide at Jonestown Guyana in 1979. They were all followers of Rev. Jim Jones of the people's temple.

In November of 1978, the world was shocked by the suicide deaths of 913 members of the People's Temple cult. Jim Jones, the leader of the group, convinced his followers to move to Jonestown, Guyana, a remote community that Jones carved out of the South American jungle and named after himself. Jones constantly feared losing control of his followers. His paranoia was the main reason he moved the cult to Guyana.
