On November 18, 1978, over 900 members of the Peoples Temple cult died in a mass murder-suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. They consumed a cyanide-laced drink made with Flavor Aid, not (Kool-Aid) as is often incorrectly reported.

The tragic event resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Someone I know and love wonders if Trump's cult will be so faithful and make the ultimate sacrifice on the day that he's sent to prison.

I've made that distinction between Kool-Aid and Flavor Aid before, but it isn't relevant. Aussie105 Oct 2024 #2
