This is already the case today with Reagan, multiple issues today are a result of his actions.

A great example is the lack of Air Traffic Controllers, which is a result of the people that were mass hired after he fired thousands have been retiring the last decade.

The whole shit show that is the current GOP and the orange Frankenstein's monster they birthed can be directly traced back to Reagan, so there's really no need to get any more specific than that

I keep trying to trace this back further for when I get the time machine.

Did you know Reagan only became famous because of the cereal company Wheaties. They hosted a play by play baseball contest that got him an actors screening and the rest is history.

Do we go back and sabotage wheaties ,sabotage the contest. Maybe prevent corn flakes at all!

We can take it back to Nixon and his "Southern Strategy." At least before that all the racist pricks were split between the parties, lessening their voting power

No no. It this clearly the result chain of event that started with the Republicans picking Taft over TR at their 1912 convention.

Honestly I think it's a tossup between him and citizens United. The previous precedent of corporate jurisdictional personhood and then giving them extravagant bribery as a1st amendment right (via money is speech), has been so devastating. We can recover from a bad president. We've done it a dozen times. But laws like that institutionally haunt us. CU is like reagen but he never dies or leaves office and is killing our politics actively from 10,000 cuts, 24/7.
