Do you seriously think that the consequences of Khrushchev’s reversal of Stalin’s policies would manifest immediately and not take years to culminate?

Stalin had built a strong industrialized economy that was growing exponentially and on the rise by the 1950s. It would take 30 years after Khrushchev’s policies for the USSR economy to stagnate, and eventually fail.

For example, when the USSR defaulted under Khrushchev in 1957, the seeds that would lead to “empty shelves under communism” stereotype had already been sown, as both industrial and agricultural production were brought to stagnation. Many policies under Stalin that made the USSR the most rapid growing economy in history were reversed en masse by Khrushchev.

Reagan and Clinton’s financial deregulations culminated in the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 and the global financial crisis in 2008 - 7 years after Clinton had stepped down as president.

It wasn’t Stalin but Khrushchev who screwed up the Soviet agricultural sector

The Democratic strategy is to take over the entire Republican party. This has always been their goals. You can call this the “skinwalking strategy”.

In a decade or so, the GOP will be nothing more than MAGA crazies obsessed with culture war shit. This is a huge win for the liberals and the Democratic party. They are the competent fascists.

The libs will simply respond with “then why didn’t they endorse Trump???”

You’re not going to convince them with this argument. In their minds, the Raygunites are so disgusted by Trump that even they have to jump over to the Democratic side, which is exactly the strategy the Democrats is playing.

And Marxism is a powerful dialectical tool that allows such contradictions to be resolved into a new synthesis.
