So, the Republican shift toward the far right was already in full swing by the 2000s. You’d need to go back to at least Reagan to head that off. Trickle down economics, Two Santas, etc. was already decades in the making. My dad had already been fully brainwashed by talk radio in the 90s.
But on the flip side, the Democratic establishment has made it painfully clear even to this day that their only priority has always been to maintain the status quo for the privileged NIMBY class. The Republican party didn’t need to do anything to keep unaffordability rising, they all want to maintain the housing market bubble to protect the wealth of boomers.
We make it so Reagan still runs but doesn’t win presidency, ever, until he dies. We make sure Bill Clinton doesn’t do that incident with Monica that got him impeached so he can still have some goodwill with the people enough to make them think we want the current path he paved to continue.
Yeah but my point is, we’d still have democrats in office to ensure no Republican is voted in to destroy the country from within. Gore would’ve won over Bush, we’d still have Obama, we might’ve even had Bernie Sanders or so. All politicians who’re democratic who might not just keep Reaganism alive, they have their own ways too.
Do I just get one shot or can I keep trying until I get it right?
Basically anything that reduces Republican power in the US is probably a win overall.

Then advising Carter to get all the US embassy out of Iran before the revolution could do the trick.
Clinton mostly became president by embracing Reaganism, so he didn’t really pave the path and it did continue

If it’s just a single shot, then preventing the Brooks Brothers Riot would be the best use of your time.
All it would take is an industrial sized can of pepper spray. Just like the kind police regularly use on leftwing protesters.
