All besides the second predate Bush significantly. Monroe Doctrine's been out for a while now, War on Drugs officially started with Nixon but had precedents since Anslinger's crusades from the 1930s (staunch drug control laws themselves since the 1900s), mass surveillance started with... Truman, actually. Not necessarily under his supervision, but from that time period. To label policies as "Republican" and "Democratic" sounds very disingenuous to me, given how flexible the two parties have been throughout history. Indeed, until the Southern Strategy in the mid-60s, the Democratic Party was the one with the pronounced right-wing populism. Nowadays they both are, but the Democrats are more reserved it seems.
