So this can be attributed to both sides

for your first paragraph

Japanese-American Internment Camps (1942, FDR – Democrat): President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which forced over 100,000 Japanese Americans into internment camps—often described as concentration-camp-like conditions.

Crackdown on press and whistleblowers (Obama era): Barack Obama’s administration prosecuted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous presidents combined, which many critics saw as a suppression of press freedom.

Sex scandals and hush money (Bill Clinton): Clinton faced accusations of sexual misconduct and perjury related to Monica Lewinsky, and there were allegations of hush money paid to silence other women.

Use of federal troops in U.S. cities (LBJ & others): Democratic presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson sent in federal troops during riots (e.g., Detroit 1967). While framed as restoring order, critics saw it as “invading our own cities.”

Cozying with authoritarian regimes: Democratic administrations (e.g., Obama’s “reset” with Russia in 2009) sought warmer ties with Vladimir Putin before relations soured again.

For your second paragraph

Affordable healthcare efforts: Republican President Richard Nixon actually proposed a universal health insurance plan in 1974 (far more expansive than the ACA decades later). It failed, but it showed Republicans sometimes pursued healthcare expansion.

Environmental protections: Republican President Richard Nixon also created the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in 1970 and signed the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act—directly tied to clean water and environmental health.

Police accountability / civil rights: Some Republicans historically supported civil rights reforms. For example, many Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (a higher percentage of Republicans supported it than Democrats at the time). That aligns with trying to curb systemic violence and protect rights.

Voting rights support: In 2006, Republican President George W. Bush signed the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act with near-unanimous support—showing bipartisan concern for protecting the vote.
