General sociological and political curiosity for one. I tend to try and figure out why people get off their asses and do things. Just because it is right wing doesn't mean it should be understood. Does it?

Another reason would be to blunt the tendency to just take for granted the liberal explanation - racist, xenophobic, Republican bank rolled, petty bourgeois (not that these aren't the cause, but are they the only ones. And shouldn't hold them up to criticism?)- which IMO leads back to the two party dead end.
