“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 m-ssacre in 1978 when all of its inhabitants were directed to ingest cyanide-laced kool-aid.
