"Drink the Kool-Aid" in politics means people are blindly following a leader without question, especially if the result is death, harm, or other negative result (although the former does not have to be the case for the term to be used). It originated from the Jonestown Massacre in the 1970s, at which time more than 900 people poisoned themselves while under the thrall of cult leader Jim Jones.
