The issue is with taking anything they say at face value. They don't believe in anything, except what is convenient in the moment and would grant them more power and wealth. Now that they own the White House, Congress and SCOTUS, they are very much federalists and will seek to impose their views on the entire country. Simple, really.
They brandish the "don't tread on me flag" while cheering on Trump sending the national guard to blue cities (when the most violent cities in America are all red). They are supposedly against handouts, but watch Trump bail out the farmers and none of MAGA have anything to say about it. Because a majority of farmers vote red.
They wouldn't have any issue with actual socialism, as long as it only benefitted republican voters.
