Republicans are currently playing the role of "ideological big tent" party with a mix of libertarians, religious conservatives, and blue-collar workers. There's a lot of disagreement within the party and between its newcomers, but they are banding together because they are led by an unapologetic fighter who is completely unlike their previous leadership. FDR once played that role forming a "big tent" for the Democrats under similar political circumstances.
