Translation - “I can’t grift enough money being a Republican anymore - the leftys (big pharma, big tech, greenies, media, education) will donate a lot more money for my retirement years. Have to follow the money!”

I can’t grift enough money being a Republican anymore

Oh, they can grift plenty. They want US to shut up, or go away. When Rush Limbaugh hit it big, he would be at gatherings, and power (not necessarily elected) Republicans, maybe activists, maybe donors, suggested that of course he was pro-life on the radio for audience and ratings. Fortunately, Limbaugh was confident enough in his own skin that he made it clear that was who he was. Others aren't.
