W's admin laid the planks for Palin and Trump. "Alt facts" started with W's admin. Cheney most. Rumsfeld, the way they corralled Powell.

I would posit that the groundwork was laid even before W. Maybe not the rampant idiocy, but a concerted effort to reshape American politics by a small, extreme group.

Nah. Populism has been a growing thing in both parties. It's like saying Palin laid the groundwork for Bernie Sanders.
