If I remember correctly, it began to suck in 2001.

It took a pretty solid nosedive then, but the groundwork was laid by Reagan.

Or Nixon. Or the Red Scare. Or the Civil War and the failure of Reconstruction. Or in fourteen-hundred-ninety-two when Columbus sailed the ocean blue...

I'm just talking about things sucking in America, we can easily expand to the world's issues just by tracking the unchallenged expansion of Europe's influence or the Abrahamic religions.

It's always 2 steps forward, at least 1 step back but most of the biggest problems that are happening now are specifically the coming from seed planted by the Reagan administration.
