What are some of the changes that changed America from a Liberal country in the 1960s to a Conservative nation in the 1980s?

What events sparked this?

I'm guessing Watergate was one.
Was the Iran Contra Affair one, or Vietnam?

Please give specific examples, or who was elected into the white house that changed politics.
