Look, the man is an awful person, but don’t give him THAT much credit. Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan, Lee Atwater and anyone involved in the southern strategy was major parts of it. McConnell, “The Freedom Caucus”, and “Tea Party” were major parts of it. The Koch Brothers with the heritage foundation is a major part.
And this is the short list. I didn’t go into the evengelicals, AM conservative pundits, Rupert Murdoch and so much more.

Sometimes I wish that William McKinley wasn’t shot so that that would inadvertently lead to the US becoming a socialist country, a lot similar to the alternate history story “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline” (wiki is here). Seriously!
Or Garfield. He at least wanted every confederate leader hanged.
The US is just not allowed to have good leaders
