they claim to be against government interference in the lives of citizens or fiscal responsibility

You haven't caught any hypocrisy here. They dropped that talk long, long ago. Constituents still have the idea in their heads, but the GOP doesn't so much as pay lip service to fiscal responsibility, small government or state's rights.

Can't remember when I noticed, but it was pre-Trump. Guess it's too easy to burn 'em in election ad sound bites.

I do feel like states rights gets trotted out as needed, if not as often as in the past. Isn't it their primary non-religious defense for overturning Roe?. Otherwise, I think you have a point. I suppose I don't hear those sorts of claims often like I used to.
