It has largely happened as the result of a "hardhat" backlash against left-liberal idiocy; e.g., Democrats stonewalling death penalty and "three strikes" laws, and Jessica's Law, etc.; and, in California, indexing the grand theft/petty theft boundary to the Consumer Price Index.
"Get control" is where you're not getting it.
Unless you believe the GOP has the same type of people running it as it was in Lincoln's time.
Give it some thought; it's really not that complicated.
