I will start with some major laws and acts that helped and protect citizens. FDR and Congress enacted the Glass-Steagal Act and Banking laws to help stabilze banking vs investment banking along with forming the FDIC to protect depositors from losing their savings and from recessions/depressions. Of course, Social Security is a major savings plan for citizens so that they have at least some income after retirement. Kennedy and LBJ pushed through Civil Rights and Votings Rights Laws to add protections that should have come from the original Bill of Rights. And the Affordable Care Act ACA has given lower cost healthcare insurance to 30-40 million people who need it and in doing so helped to hold down medical costs and insurance costs by making it so those people who cant pay dont have to go to Emerg Rooms where all those high costs are passed on to those who are insured. Those are six very good laws to help citizens.
1920 - Dems and Pres Wilson push through 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote, which they should have had since the founding.
And then of course FDR and Dems created the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 to set up minimum wage to help workers. He also did the WPA and other acts in the 1930s to pull the US out of the depression with Dem economic policy, not terrible Repub supply side policy
And Biden has done a variety of great legislation to get a great economy going .
But I see there are no anwers to this question from the very conservative who do not want to help normal citizens but only help the rich

Now go to the super market, fill your tank with gas and watch an open border annd crisis allow 10 million illegal immigrants to enter the country.
Watch the saturation invade the job market and place enormous stress on housing, schools and hospitals… not to mention sex slave trafficking, Fentanyl and wasting resources that should be going to American citizens.
Those laws were way before 1920. Even in 1960 the deep south was more a Dem region until Civil Rights Act was made law.
You are talking Civil War era times. That was way before big business became the new King George the III ruler.
Oh you mean the open border that was wide open under trump also , so much open that Trump ripped kids from their parents. WOW terrible logic.
The same border that Repub Senator Lankford created a great Bill to handle border problems but Trump said dont vote for that bill.
Repubs dont want to solve a lot of the problems in this country because they lose all their talking points.
Republicans here triggered thinking these were LiBeRAl ideas. Project 2025 will put an end to these though.
Republicans are for less government. The best laws out there are the ones that never happen. Getting out of the way of the people is the best possible plan.
