Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
The Democrat Party wants Americans to believe that Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, are progressives who favor progress towards better conditions in the government and society. However, as Mark Twain stated, Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.
Why is it that intelligent and kind-hearted people can succumb to the deceptive practices of politicians and drink their proverbial Kool-Aid? To many Americans, this may seem like madness, but I recall a time when I, too, succumbed and drank the Kool-Aid. I was raised in a patriotic family of generations of life-long Democrats.

It is not fair its current association with Jonestown and liberal lunacy. Somehow I don't think that name is going to recover much dignity.
And at Jonestown, they didn’t drink Kool-Aid. I think it was Flavor-Aid. Not sure, but definitely an off-brand.
But think of all we’ve gained by embracing the TG and gays in our military?

But intelligent, kind-hearted people are not under discussion here. This article is about people who are considering voting for a pro-abortion politician. I.e., psychopaths.

For “trans gendered” ... you know, confused people.
Even worse! It wasn't even Kool-Aid and it gets the bad rap!
Used to drink bug juice at day camp. Oh, snap. Maybe I did get indoctrinated.
