I could conceivably see a ten-party system developing in a proportional system. Here would be the parties, following stereotypical European parliamentary lines.

Communist Party USA (Exactly what it says, hard-left)

Democratic Socialist Alliance (Berniecrat faction)

New Democratic Party (Clintonite faction)

The Republicans (Old-school, pre-2008 Republicans)

The Greens (Jill Stein, psychedelic environmentalists)

Libertarian Party (Rand Paul/Paul Ryan types)

Constitution Party (Generic Christian democratic party/traditionalists/evangelicals)

America First! (Trumpublicans)

African American National Congress (Black interests/Black minority interest party)

The Lone Star Party (Texan regionalist/secessionist party)

Constitution Party (Generic Christian democratic party/traditionalists/evangelicals)

Could you expand a bit on this? You seem to be putting too many things together.

This party would be a sort of bridge party, at the intersection of libertarian economics (return to the gold standard, repeal the income tax, etc), and social conservatism (bring back prayer in school, ban abortion, make flag pledges mandatory). Its support base would mainly be in rural, mainly Protestant areas that were affected by deindustrialization post-NAFTA
