A history lesson about Jones and Kool-Aid

Jeff Lindsay needs a lesson in history, school teachers failed his educational needs. Jeff wrote: “Does anyone remember Jim Jones and sharing the Kool-Aid? I think Trump may be sharing the virus like Jones shared the KoolAid. Just saying?”

Just saying? Not thinking. Jeff I lived in San Francisco during the Jim Jones period. Being a conservative I was not a supporter but Democrat politicians were lock, stock and barrel. Let’s look at some googled quotes:

“Such greatness I have found in Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple,” Harvey Milk extolled. Willie Brown compared Jim Jones to Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. Dianne Feinstein joined the rest of the San Francisco board of supervisors in honoring Jones “in recognition of his guidance and inspiration” in furthering “humanitarian programs.”

Jones and his cult would trade favors with the Democrat politicians for making sure Democrat rallies had huge attendance (hundreds of cultists) and roughing up any dissenters in attendance (ANTIFA now copycats). Jerry Brown, California governor actually spoke at Peoples Temple. Jimmy Carter’s running mate, Walter Mondale, met with Jones on the tarmac in San Francisco.

Jones preached, “I call capitalism the devil,” Jones said from the pulpit, “and socialism is God.”

You need to abolish history Jeff to get away with your statement.

Also get rid of the fact that the Ku Klux Klan was the strong arm army for the Democrats just like Jim Jones. And the “Virus” came from China, the Democrats’ socialist buddies and Democrat staunch supporters.
