I've picked at coworkers brains on this frequently. They hedge, avoid, and misdirect about what they believe, or try to change the subject to something banal so as to avoid discussing their actual values.

In my experience, what Republican voters care about is personal wealth. The ones who will commit to values anyway. They feel like voting Republican makes more money for themselves and they don't care about literally anything else. The ones who hedge and act like that's what they care about usually give me the impression that they're bigots of some kind and know better than to speak their bigoted views outside of people they already know to agree with them.
