If you really want to nip the problem in the bud, you could travel back to Olduvai Gorge a couple of million years in the past and start offing primates.
I read a story about a future time agency. When asked why they didn’t kill Hitler, they said they always ran computer simulations to see what changing any aspect of history would do long-term, and in a majority of scenarios in which WWII didn’t happen, the United States and the Soviet Union destroy each other in a nuclear war in the 1960s, taking most of the human population with them.
Whenever someone says that a certain particularly wicked person should be assassinated, I point out that there are many more where that one came from. Despots are easily replaced.
There were at least 42 attempts to assassinate Hitler, starting well before he made himself Fuhrer. Some of them may have been time travelers, who knows….

I guess I laughed so hard at this because it’s exactly how I think.

Or you could just try to fix the present.

Bad times beget bad men who blame minorities and immigrants for their country’s problems.

I would kill Robert Moses, John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen. And Smoot and Hawley.
