The risk of undoing progress so quickly is only possible after nearly a century spent centralizing the very authority that makes a quick undo possible.

The executive branch shouldn't have nearly as much authority as it does and anything we want to be difficult to be undone should be protected by law, with a legislative body needing something akin to a 2/3s vote to change it.

Instead we have a massive, powerful executive branch and legislators that can wield way too much power with a simple majority.
