If Donald Trump told his followers he was the Rev. Jim Jones, how many would drink the Kool-Aid?

If Donald Trump told them to put the glass up to their lips and that they would all meet in Heaven, singing songs and skipping down the streets of gold, how many would swallow?

I'm betting the majority would drink the Kool-Aid. They trust their Leader that much.

What do you think?

1. Am I a bad person if I say, "all of them."

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Yes, you are

because you beat me to it.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

9. And you're a bad influence because I was keeping "Not enough" to myself, until I saw your post.

[Funtatlaguy]

13. Not enough is the correct answer, Alex

You win double jeopardy and a chicken dinner

[Pope George Ringo II]

2. But would they drink it in the middle of 5th Avenue?

I'd say yes to that, too.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

3. I doubt they would know who Rev. Jim Jones was.

[Va Lefty]

10. "Jim Jones? Sounds like a white guy."

4. Worse than Kool-Aid:

They'd probably gladly go along if he decided to invade Canada or Mexico.

Let's just hope our Joint Chiefs wouldn't.

[The Genealogist]

6. I don't think he'd have to tell them that

I think he'd just need to tell them to eat rat poison and they would.

7. If the name had "Rev." in it, they would say a prayer before drinking it. And drink it they would

[liberal N proud]

8. All of them

The trump cult is far worse than the Jerry Jones cult because the republicans have spent years fostering their trumpkins

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. It's difficult to know how many really hard-core Trumpists there are

and how hard-core they actually are. Polls don't clearly answer that question, although some ask about approval vs. strong approval. I don't think all that many would actually and literally drink the kool-aid - Jim Jones' followers were completely isolated, with almost no contact with the outside world at all, and the group was literally a sort of church. It's apparent that a Trump personality cult has formed, and its members won't be dissuaded by facts or arguments. If Trump told them to drink the actual kool-aid, though, I doubt there would be many takers.

18. I doubt my mother would. But my sister might.

19. Hopefully, all of them. It would be the best thing he's ever done for America. nt
