2006 could be something. That was the year the Republican dominance of power ended and the Democrats took back Congress for the first time since they lost it in 1994. If the Republican party never again achieves what they had from 2000 until that point, 2006 would be a huge "beginning of the end" case. If they do, then nevermind.
Alternatively, 2008, the first time someone won the Presidency without the White vote, establishing the Democratic party as the party of the minority-youth-LGBT-(single)women coalition, and the Republican party as the party of the older white men. 2012 was a reaffirming of both coalitions and sort of a magnifier for 2008.
