If I could wave my hand and undo the victory of any President in my lifetime, it would not be Trump, it would be Reagan. Trump is a big, dumb, annoying animal, but never had any interest in effective legislating. Reagan, or at least the Reagan administration, took our country apart piece by piece to sell off, and converted/convinced their former opposition party to stop taking the paltry union bribes, join them in taking the massive corporate bribes, and made the best we can elect today to be feckless, hail corporate neoliberals. Since Reagan, we only get a vote on how to manage the social issue symptoms of our crony market capitalist economy, never the form or priorities of the economy itself as members of a free society would be able to.

Trump is just another symptom of the Reagan giveaway to the rich and brainwashing of the gullible poor. He is a baffoon that stole the entrenched Reagan grift out from under the Republican establishment that only used racism to lead their idiot base around by the nose by turning up the volume and throwing away the dog whistles.

IMHO, Reagan killed any hope for the US in its current form under its current constitution by giving capital holders all the power, Trump is just another bacterial colony outgrowth from its well looted corpse, just like Citizens United.

Go back further. Wilson. Give us four terms of Teddy for only two terms of Franklin.
