I also commonly claim '92 as a major turning point, only to be schooled on the long road that came before. But these "points" are subjective and relative.

There is also a case to be made for 1949, Dulles, and the birth of the CIA as a turning point.

So ideals fall in some order or randomly.

But the systemic capture of US democracy by plain private interests is certainly a big event, and I still say we have it right in 1992.

1992 and then 2008 proved invaluable for neutering Team D.
