"You Really drank the Kool-aid"

I will preference this by saying I am a white woman and perhaps I the wrong person to say this so please feel free to tell me I am wrong and if I need to delete this post I will do so.

But yes, That Phrase stuck out to me a little more than everything else. To me it seemed even more condescending than the rest of the stuff he has said. Maybe because my mother is in her 80s and I am in my 40s and a huge generation gap between us but I notice that tone in the way he said that kind of reminds me of the way my mother will sometimes talk. Like believing we are all equal is well... something she can't fully subscribe to. I mean she has paid Obama and Kamala compliments.

But she had to be talked into talk into voting for Obama in 2008 ( 2012 she was on board) but am Aunt of mine basically had to shame her into voting for him -- by saying " If this was a white Man saying everything Obama said you'd be racing into that voting booth.

To me we basically had Trump come the closest to admitting he is a racist.

Every election cycle. But the sheer hypocrisy of him talking about kool aid drinkers is astounding. A little “unclear on the concept”, or ready made for Reddit’s “self aware wolves” sub thread, if you ask me.
