Drinking the kool-aid

A idiomatic phrase that refers to an unsubstantiated but strongly argued opinion that is rejected outright as being held by a person or persons that is under the effect of a hallucinogenic drug. Kool-Aid spiked with LSD is the root from where this late 1960’s early 1970’s phrase originated.

If you think that the president will be impeached because of his inappropriate activities with women, then you’ve been drinking the kool-aid.
