They live for themselves. That's just what the republican platform is all about. It idolizes the self, it focuses on the individual, and there seems to be an overwhelming disdain for anything that would help the greater good, the planet, or the underprivileged. Why do you think I dislike the platform as a whole? It's an inherently selfish political stance.
I liked it better when the left and the right found some middle ground and both had some good points. At its core, left wing and right wing policies need to be balanced and both have their place in the world, but lately it's clear that modern conservatives hate social or scientific progress, hate change, and actively resist any policies that might minorly inconvenience them if that means some of their taxes goes to helping others (in their mind, selfish people, lazy people, etc). I had my one friend rant at me for hours about how much he hated liberals simply because he didn't like the idea that his tax dollars would go to giving some welfare bum money, regardless of how many people social services actually helps; the chance that his money could go towards a cause he deems inappropriate or charitable was enough for him to demonize the left in its entirety.
This is not how we have a thriving society. That's how we have cavemen.
