I've had the feeling for a while that the real tension is between "personal/individual freedom" and "corporate/business freedom."
It feels like the more left-leaning states have more of a focus on the freedom of the individual. Examples include marijuana laws, high minimum wage, gambling, strong environmental protections, strong healthcare, and strong safety net, etc.
Compared to the more right-leaning states focused on the freedom of businesses. Examples include right-to-work, low minimum wage, low worker's comp, limited environmental protections, lower corporate taxes, etc.
The primary exception would be gun laws, which the right favors more than the left.
