What attracts the Republican Party to voters?

As someone who has grown up in a big, liberal city and not had too much experience with republican or conservatives besides the occasional conversation or online conversation, do conservatives feel like the Republican Party provides them benefits? From my viewpoint, they have only been taking away rights or things from groups they hate (for unknown reasons). Is this why they vote republican? I understand while not always the most effective, the Democratic Party has at least signaled that they want to improve systems like research into healthcare and fostering relationships with countries for trade and alliances, yet I haven’t seen any changes that benefit all Americans messaged by the Republican Party? Are those voters just voting to hurt people they don’t like?
