At least Jim Jones was heavily involved in charity work before the whole, uh... cult-of-personality murder-suicide stuff. Trump's never done a charitable thing in his life.
The joke was that's how the IQ works. It's a relative measurement, not an absolute. So the average IQ per definition should always be 100, but it also needs constant adjustment.
It sucks that koolaid gets roped in like that, but even more horrible are the recordings of what drinking poison sounds like. I try not to invoke the event through that phrase, either way.
Apparently the phrase first showed up in 1968, but "drinking the koolaid" is more strongly associated with the Jonestown mass suicide in 1978, wherein 900 cult members all drank cyanide-laced Flavoraid, including young children, and the audio recordings of that event are haunting.

He also wouldn't kill himself.

One thing you can always bet on with fascists, is that they will always take the easy way out. I see him killing himself before getting prison time

Trump would try to kill himself by injecting himself with the most toxic chemicals ever conceived, the covid vaccine.

Actually he secretly vaccinated himself. He tried to convince his fans to do it during one rally and after he got boos he never did it again.

Trump would try to kill himself and somehow against all reason fuck it up.

I honestly believe he might under the right circumstances.
VeryVito@lemmy.ml · 24 pts · 1y
Do those circumstances involve a bunker?

I don't think Melania will be down with that.

Unless it benefited him. I bet there's some sort of donations-to-family-charity stuff that happened
Ledericas@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y
he would be the cult leader to poison the rest of his cult members and bounce with all thier money.

Au contraire! He stole donated money from his children’s cancer charity.
Oh. No, wait you're right.
takeda@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
He would, but his charity was shut down. /s

Please let all the MAGATS drink poison kool aid 🙏🏼. The IQ of the country would skyrocket. That would truly make America great again.

I think the average IQ would remain at 100

Because...? You just need to hate Americans?

Yeah, but it's too slow. It's on par with suicide by smoking.

Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid.

Trump would charge Kool Aid prices for Flavor Aid

koolaid was always an expression for "getting drunk from the propaganda"

Jim Jones at least claimed to care about people

Trump wouldn’t have to charge a penny, his followers would happily guzzle down the Kool-Aid.
