I don't think this is accurate when you consider the "addons" that were pushed as part of these initiatives. Further you can look at the past few months drastic decreases due to presidential initiatives to further bolster the rights argument that the didn't even need these initiatives and could have just enforced existing laws.

That's the problem. The solutions are already on paper, just not enforced. Much like theft in California which appears to have had a drastic shift back with this election too.

People was consistency and enforcement regardless of party.

Unfortunately it seems the gambit to hold the congress hostage has worked for them. Bad juju for any sort of attempt at building political alliances if you are punished for compromising across the aisle, but rewarded for holding the populace hostage until you get a supermajority to enact 100% of your agenda.
