You GOT it, Exactly. Nice deduction.
Classical phrases are pretty much dead in this cultural climate, sadly. I am a little repulsed by a “pill” word being used in any case, but it does rather cut to the chase.
Besides, it’s not oldsters that need the “red pill” so much, but the ignorant, who have been co-opted by the Left. That means by owning Public Education and academia and curriculum for at least five decades.
Pills up. Red please.
Would you prefer "drink the Kool-aid?"
That's the same as taking the blue pill, but more horrific in reality. And it's just as commonly used.
