In any case, the man has damaged the US more than any single individual since the Civil War, possibly ever.
It depends on what you mean by damage, but I think Regan carried out more structural and long term damage.
Also when you look at the loss of life in Vietnam and extra judicial killings through the 60s and 70s, on a body count he scores pretty well compared to quite a few others.
Honestly, I think this is where his crassness and overt cuntishness clouds peoples views. If you put stoking already present divisions to one side, what are his top 5 onerous and irreversible policies?

what are his top 5 onerous and irreversible policies?
- Loading the courts
- Not filling a lot of roles in most agencies - gutting their capability and leaving voids
- Filling some agency roles with loyal lobbyists - perverting their mission, i.e. FDA and FCC
- Permitting oil and mineral mining throughout Alaska and accelerating the speed at which that happens
- Diminishing the finances of the govt through broad tax cuts to the wealthy, leading to a lot of grass and root projects being gutted
Probably not actually in order... but those off the top of my head.

I wasn’t talking about the times he’s done it in the past, I’m talking about the times he’ll do it in the future if given half a chance. You mentioned it’s unlikely he’ll punch someone so jail isn’t suitable, I’m saying there’s a strong likelihood he’ll continue being a sexual predator so jail is suitable, if outright treason isn’t enough.
In any case, the man has damaged the US more than any single individual since the Civil War, possibly ever. He did so for his own enrichment, the enrichment of his cronies, and to satisfy his sadistic desires for adoration and subservience, while holding an office where he swore to do the opposite. If him being sentenced to prison time isn’t a textbook example of holding someone accountable for their actions, then we’ve lost the plot.
