the quiet part
The immoral and most-likely illegal actual goal you or your team hopes to achieve. Grounded in the spurious logic of "If I don't actually acknowledge my/our own shitty behavior out loud, I/we can accomplish something wicked without getting caught, or presumably even having to feel bad for doing so." Weaponized cognitive dissonance.
"They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again" -Donald Trump
The Republican president favors voter suppression, because he realizes it is advantageous for his team when fewer people are allowed to vote, he "said the quiet part out loud".
