"Kool-Aid" is what one drinks metaphorically, in the
context of a political campaign, when faced with an eminent loss. The term was popularly referenced in the 1993 film, "The War Room" by George Stephonopolous when he states, "I'm afraid we're all going to have to
drink Kool-Aid."
The term references the Jonestown massacre in 1978 when all of its inhabitants were directed to ingest cyanide-
laced Kool-Aid.
Here's the
new poll results, folks. Looks like, with 4 days
left in the election, we're down by 17 points. Guess it's
time for us to bust out the Kool-Aid.
