The founding principles of America were made by a homogeneous European population with no expectation for that to change. Any attempt to return to those principles without the same kind of population will not achieve as much as it could.
The regime change already happened at the end of the 2nd world war when they opened up the gates of immigration.
I would argue the republic was lost 50ish years after the constitution was ratified when owning property was no longer a requirement to vote for the majority of voters.
The death spiral of paupers voting themselves benefits paid for by the productive class, and the descent into kleptocracy, was inevitable after that.
