1. All sorts of things. The most prominent example is the recent hiding of the facts relating to the Biden Cartel having sold out to the Chinese Communists, censoring the NYPost exposé. Of course, equally well hidden were the achievements of Trump's domestic and foreign policies. Obama beefed up Iran's nuclear arsenal, Trump forms peace agreements throughout the Middle East. All hidden.
2. Historic achievements of Republicans are either hidden or glossed over, never getting their due. Which brings the presidency of Calvin Coolidge to mind.
Calvin Coolidge, in full John Calvin Coolidge, (born July 4, 1872, Plymouth, Vermont, U.S.—died January 5, 1933, Northampton, Massachusetts), 30th president of the United States (1923–29).

3. After the depression [1920-1921] the United States proceeded to enjoy the “Roaring Twenties,” arguably the most prosperous decade in the country’s history. Some of this prosperity was illusory—itself the result of subsequent Fed inflation—but nonetheless the 1920–1921 depression “purged the rottenness out of the system” and provided a solid framework for sustainable growth."
The conclusion seems obvious to anyone whose mind is not firmly locked into the Keynesian or monetarist framework: The free market works.

The 1920s were an age of dramatic social and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” Roaring Twenties
4. The 1920s earned their moniker—the "Roaring Twenties"—through the decade's real and sustained prosperity, dizzying technological advancements, and lively culture.

5. Republican President Coolidge gave the best advice any American could pass on to another:
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
Compare that to FDR's infantilization of his constituency, promising to cosset and coddle from cradle to grave.
