I identify as a "liberal" and I personally hate kool-aid and pretty much never drink it. So what's the deal about it?

    There was a cult run by a man named Jim Jones before you were born. He had brainwashed his followers into believing that he was the messiah. When he knew that police forces were coming to shut him down, he had his followers drinks poisoned Kool-Aid; they all did and died, knowing that it was poison. This is the analogy being applied to Liberalism. I agree with the analogy myself. I believe that it belongs to the Republicans as well.

    It is a reference to the mass suicide/murder of the followers of James Jones in Jonestown, Guyana where poison Kool Ade was prepared for the cult members to drink. Men, womwn and children partook of the poison Kool Ade and hundreds died as a result. Those who would not willingly drink were forced to drink or killed in some other manner.. It means doing what the leader tells you without thinking about it. It is usually applied to the left in this country because they send out notes to the masses of the Democrat Party and they are expecred to do just as they are told without questioning it.

    I've never been very fond of American politics. I would be on the left but not really a Democrat. I'm not really for capitalism and I'm sort of in support of CCCP, but I guess SOME things in the USA are good. The people are nice, like you are nice. Yeah... It's all the same anyways. In politics...

    Well said and sums it up clearly! The DNC behave as a cult. Obama is no better than Jim Jones. It boils down to this, WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT!!!!!! AND FAST!! or else it will be like what happened that tragic day in Jones Town. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    Jim Jones and his Cult are where people get the Kool-Aid from. Those who followed that psycho all drank a Kool-Aid that was laced with Carcenogens ammonia or something I don't remember, so politically if someone says that you drink too much Kool-Aid you are as brainwashed as those cult members who committed suicide via Kool Aid.

    Anyway, I hope you will not take offense, but at age 15, you aren't really anything in the Political spectrum. I mean, you don't have a car, you don't have a job, you don't pay taxes, you don't have kids, you don't have a spouse, you don't own your own home or land, you cannot vote, etc... Not saying you cannot speak your mind, but in the Political spectrum, your will doesn't hold much weight until you are at least 18.

    have a nice day

    It's not really about age; it's about knowledge. I've probably read more books than the average American 40 year old.

    But it is about a certain level of responsibility and with age comes more responsibility. Call yourself a Liberal all you want, I won't try to stop you. These terms will take on whole new meaning the older you get and the deeper down the Rabbit Hole you go.

    I actually don't care much about politics, it's just a hobby for when I'm bored. It's all a game, anyways. Someday we won't need politics or humans.

    It means you are a sheeple. Someone who can't speak for themselves, and listens to what MSM tells you. Just a common political metaphor, and mind you I don't know you, so don't shoot the messenger, because that's what it means.

    Go to urbandictionary.com and search on "drink the kool-aid". In the case of "liberals", I suppose it is like permanent brain damage, because they sure as hell are not going to become conservatives any time soon. You actually have to be pretty smart to know every leftist shibboleth, but you will at the same time lack any sense.

    It doesn't necessarily apply to only liberals. There are plenty of GOP Kool-Aid drinkers. It simply means to follow someone blindly. You just happen to see it spouted more, by the right, because they can't think up any new insults.

    Nothing. It just get people a lot of raves here, and help people make new friends with other people who like saying "Kool-Aid".

    "Kool-aid' is a shorthand for the Kool-aid Jim Jones had his followers drink (laced w/cyanide) ion his camp in S. America (after fleeing the US) WITHOUT QUESTION! The 'KOOL-AID' some Liberals (& Conservatives) drink is UNQUESTIONING OBEDIENCE TO PARTY LINES!

    Actually, they gave up the Kool-Aide and hooked up to the Drano I-V's a long time ago.
