1. Not the ENTIRE 20th Century

I think they'd be good with repealing everything after Herbert Hoover.

4. Not quite.

They want the 16th and 17th Amendments (income tax and popular election of Senators) gone, and those predate Hoover. Maybe they'll be happy going back to 1903, before Roosevelt had enough support to start the Progressive Era, but not much more recent than that.

these same reactionaries too much air time.
