The logic of my tag is obvious.
The Dem “big tent” is gays, race, peace, environment, immigration, unions, atheists etc.
But it is really a small tent because if you are gay, you must also be green, pacifist, pro-affirmative action, amnesty....
If you are in a Dem group, you must support all of them, even if they are detrimental to one another (i.e. unions vs. illegal immigrants or race - Blacks are mostly religious - vs. gays and atheists)
The Republican “Big Tent” is economic, security and social conservatives.
There is no necessary conflict between them.
So it is not too much to expect them to squeeze together in a “smaller tent” and start supporting each other like the Dems do.
And if they don’t support all three, ask for their support but for God’s sake, don’t elect them.
