NOTE

Nanny state vs autonomy

The discourse surrounding the gender divide in political campaigns reveals two contrasting economic ideologies that resonate differently with various voter demographics. The Harris campaign appeals to female college-educated voters through a paternalistic model that emphasizes redistribution of wealth from the rich to those in poverty. This approach relies on the notion of a 'nanny state' that determines who is deemed deserving of financial assistance. In contrast, the Trump campaign connects with working-class men across races by advocating for autonomy and self-determination. Trump's model posits that hard work should be rewarded with greater financial retention and economic freedom, aligning with values of confidence and independence. This fundamental difference reflects a broader societal divide, where traditional Democratic strategies are seen as increasingly disconnected from working-class voters, including union members who have shown a significant shift toward Republican support. The sense of entitlement from Democrats regarding union votes highlights the need for political awareness of shifting voter sentiments.
