Game Change 2.0

Watching the movie "Game Change" about the 2008 election campaign, I was reminded about Sarah Palin's "rogue" period where she knowingly told a number of lies, criticized the media, dug at Barack Obama in the ugliest way and rallied her troops to rebel against the system.
The John McCain character, refusing to go along at one point, warns his advisors, "There's a dark side to this kind of populism."
Fast forward 8 years and you get Donald Trump.
And the Deplorables.
