It's not hypothetical revisionism, it's the reality of the culture on the ground. You're worried about one state passing a marriage law as if it was the cause to everything else. The Sexual Revolution was far broader than that.

The largest state and the one that dominated cultural influence at that time and for decades after.

JFK did permanent damage and built the system we have today.

And Reagan was complicit the entire time from governor to president. He also gave the death blow.

I don't think your national debt stat is right. Normally, I would just assume that the largest increases in National debt would have been the Louisiana Purchase, the American Civil War, WW1, and WW2.

Maybe I should have been more specific, debt we never paid off or intended to pay off. We went from a debt of 116% gdp in 1946 to 24% in 1974. Reagan took it from 30% during a recession and left it at 56% Bush 1 took it from 56-65%, Clinton from 65%-56%, W from 56-84%, Obama from 84-102%, Trump from 102-124% but that was mostly covid.

I'd put the chemical weapons stuff on Bush more than Reagan again, but even more so, the Iranians had no like of us because of our relationship with the Shaw. It was already irreparable.

The chemical weapons all happened under Reagan.

Again, the "legal" migration crisis was supposed to be ended. We can also see that it was argued that there would be no ethnographic change to the US because it was the first step in solving the migration situation.

Which is a lie, Reagan started H2A visas and Bush 1 implemented H1Bs. They are the same ilk.
