The election of Richard Nixon. I sincerely believe that’s where we traded the “flying cars robot butlers” timeline for the “worst inequality of literally ever” timeline.
My friend and I argue this occasionally. The difference IMO is that Nixon was a politician while Regan was an ideologue in a politician suit. He wanted to push his agenda no matter the negative consequences. Nixon pushed the car down the hill, but Regan started it up and floored the accelerator.

Thought that was Reagan?

He helped, but Nixon was anti union and pro debt.
