It's hard to imagine this because social conservatives would have nowhere to go.
Greens: socon, environmentally friendly, religious (in a pluralistic way), NIMBY, pro-redistributionist
Libertarians: broadly anti-government, free market, YIMBY, secular, anti-redistributionist

This might be what it becomes in the end.

Election was decided by New York. It is incredibly close and the Greens demand more time to allow recounts in slow-counting Long Island (whose NIMBY stances aid the party significantly there). SCOTUS says yes, and an Abbott lead in NY (powered by large winning margins in parts of Brooklyn his domination of places like Ithaca and Manhattan) is overturned. New York is awarded to the DeSantis/Rice ticket with a 210 vote winning margin, with Abbott supporters calling the election "stolen" by the Supreme Court.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois, and Ohio were also close. California was reasonable close but unlike those other states, the losing candidate did not get within 5% of the winner there.

Election was decided by New York. NIMBY vote in Long Island saves the Greens and in the end DeSantis/Rice wins by 10,000 votes.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois, and Ohio were also close.

DeSantis might fit in the Mexican Greens, but I don't think in any other Green party in the world.
It's based off what I postulated in the previous post. The West would structurally be pro-Libertarian and the South structurally pro-Green.
In any case, DeSantis, given his record on environmental issues, is the best fit I could find for this kind of Green party.
