Nailed it. Trump's core supporters do seem as blindly loyal as cult members.

1. Perfect.

[Madam45for2923]

2. Yep they all drank the vodka-aid!

3. Who's ready for kool-aid?

[roamer65]

9. Actually it was Flavor-Aid.

The cheap knock off of Kool-Aid.

[Thor_MN]

21. But they didn't have any good slogans or name recognition

so, a useless fact made pointless by everyone knowing what Kool Aid is.

4. I mentioned Jonestown yesterday!

In regard to people who vote against their own interests, I pondered the idea of people being so brainwashed by fear of outside "threats" that they actually killed themselves!

Then I remembered Jonestown.

7. Trump even sounds like Jim Jones

He speaks in the same cadence, repeats over and over his theme of the day.

[mountain grammy]

18. So true!

[Wounded Bear]

8. They moved to Jonestown in 2015...

on Jan 20th they drank the kool-aid.

17. Welcome to the People's Temple: TrumpTown.

[roamer65]

10. It's not 1/3 of the country, its 1/3 of voters.

So it's more like 17 percent of the population. Then if you knock out about 2 pct remorseful Dump voters, probably more like 15 pct.

[TrishaJ]

11. and this 15% has total and complete

control of our democracy.

[Cosmocat]

13. 66% of the country is infected

Kids aren't responsible either way.

1/3 of the voter eligible people in this country are full on Jonestown koolaid drinking zombies.

1/3 of the country is infected with the "they are both the same" strain, which is advanced by republicans to peel off those who are not full on koolaid drinkers to vote third party or not vote at all. It's VERY clear how big of a pos 45 is, and it is VERY clear how intent republicans are in fucking us over, but these people buy the evil liberal boogyman and/or are willing to accept and enable republican fuck wittery.

Then, there is our 1/3.

where Comrades of a feather are flocking together...

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. Exactly

[AwakeAtLast]

16. Absolutely!!! n/t

19. But he was a TeeVee Star!!!

As one of my friends used to say "Oh, Muther McCree...!"

[Paladin]

20. Democrats: Let's stop the breast-beating and self-loathing.

When that big a chunk of the population goes simple-minded, aided and abetted by a hostile foreign power, that's how elections get stolen. Our principles and our message still remain strong.

22. cheap vodka

23. I wouldn't stop them from taking a big swallow.
