Reagan is responsible. His "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" line and policies destroyed so many brains and started a generation of "gubment bad" idiots. As if profiteering corporations and shareholders have your best interests in mind more than your government, at least before all these rabid MAGA lunatics took hold of it.
Reagan implemented the first Heritage Foundation's "Project 19XX" under the title "A Mandate for Conserative Leadership": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_for_Leadership#History Just like Orange, Reagan was a figurehead for extremely wealthy individuals and their corporate interests to crush organized labor, gut unions, profiteer on healthcare + real estate, etc.
