While Newt Gingrich and Limbaugh planted the seeds, it was really Sarah Palin who was the “canary in the coal mine” for the MAGA movement.
She checked all the boxes:
* Completely ignorant of basic knowledge about the world
* Hateful views wrapped in fake Christian values
* Hypocritically judgemental of others, while ignoring the mess in her own house
* Viewing your opponent (Barack Obama) as not someone with whom you disagree, but an evil enemy
* A child-like believe that America is always right
