Americans want to feel safe again in their homes and communities, and it was a massive reason why President-elect Donald Trump had a landslide victory against former Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ballot measures in the purple state of Arizona and blue states like Colorado and California, to get tougher on crime passed by massive margins, The Daily Caller reported.

Proposition 36, which increased penalties for shoplifters and drug possession, passed with 70% of voter support, The Associated Press reported.

The proposition reversed a previous one that reduced penalties for shoplifting if the theft was less than $950.

In Colorado voters passed Proposition 128 which now requires those convicted of crimes like second-degree murder, first-degree assault, class 2 felony kidnapping or sexual assault to serve a minimum of 85 percent of their sentence before they are eligible for parole.

And, in the wake of the “defund the police” pressure campaigns that followed the death of George Floyd, the state also passed Proposition 130 to fund police departments to the tune of $350 million to increase pay for officers and assist in recruiting new officers.

It also passed Amendment I to its constitution, which removes the right to bail for those who are charged with first-degree murder and are deemed likely to be convicted.

“In Arizona, voters passed Proposition 313 with around 64% support as of Friday, which requires a life sentence for those convicted of child sex trafficking. Voters in the state also approved Proposition 314 with 63% support, which toughened a slew of laws on illegal immigration and fentanyl, including empowering state and local police to arrest illegal immigrants outside of ports of entry,” the report said.

Comedian Bill Maher, an anti-Trump Democrat, even celebrated the passing of Proposition 36 on his HBO show “Real Time” on Friday.

“Even liberal L.A. said, ‘Here’s an idea — instead of locking up the toothpaste, how about we lock up the shoplifters?’ “ he said.
