There are only three things the Republicans care about:
- Money (for the rich)
- Power
- Courts
That's it. It's not all they'll spend energy on, but all the rest is for the above. There are these annoying rules that give masses "votes" and so they have to run around saying "Democrats are trying to let black people control your children, vote for us" and spend billions on media to keep people brainwashed to vote for Republicans because of huge fear and hatred for Democrats, day in and day out.
Why do they want money, power and courts? Because they want the country to be something they will never say publicly, a plutocracy, a place where their wealthy masters can have everything and do everything they like. The masses have to be kept down, or they will put limits on the wealthy. It's that simple. The not-secret 'secret' of Republican politics.
Test the theory. Look at 100 things the Republicans have done in the last 50 years. See if any do not fit either "get money", "get power", or "get courts". Under, "get power" includes any sort of 'pandering' and propaganda they do. Under "get power" includes things like "deregulation", the government telling the powerful what they can't do.
All the things they say that attract voters are fluff, "retail politics", propaganda designed to get people to hate Democrats and vote for Republicans. Patriotism, freedom, 'religious freedom', morals, war, you name it, all of is material of the con man (a general title, not a person).
It might seem off to have one of the two major parties in the country all about fighting for a goal it will never admit. We're used to the idea of announced goals. Founding fathers and independence from England, Churchill and defeating Hitler, Hitler and a thousand year Reich killing Jewish people. But that's what we have, a party with a goal they won't say,, plutocracy, and much of the country manipulated to fight for them to get those things.
