I think the general public perceives that the current Republican strategy is indeed to "screw the other guy," and to do it through right-wing judicial activism. And the general perception is that there are three goals to this judicial activism: (1) to overturn Roe v. Wade; (2) to eliminate the separation of church and state; and (3) to dismantle the welfare state (the Constitution in Exile movement).

I don't think it's any secret that the "other guy" here is the vast majority of voters. So the strategy amounts to "screwing yourself" in the next election, in return for some judges who may or may not decide the way you want them to.
