Someone who doesn’t like moralistic intrusion.

So a social libertarian?

Then your list is strange. "I don't like moralistic intrusion therefore I take Carter over Ford" does not make much sense.
Also, why Dole in 1996?

By the way, why would they be alienated from Bush by a law that did not even exist yet?
Carter ran on decriminalizing marijuana, Dole laughed at Clinton’s school uniform and curfew proposals and opposed the V-Chip, Bush campaigned on No Child Left Behind.

My extremely rough guess as to how a "loose parent" (to call them some way) would have voted for:

2020: Trump
2016: Trump

2012: Obama
2008: McCain
2004: Badnarik
2000: Nader
1996: Perot
1992: Perot

1988: Dukakis
1984: Mondale

1980: Clark
1976: Ford
1972: McGovern
1968: Humpfrey
1964: Lyndon Johnson
1960: Kennedy
1956: Stevenson
1952: Stevenson
1948: Truman


It is also possible that this voter voted for Gary Johnson in 2012 or 2016.

But why would a loose parent vote for Trump twice?
I am continuously struggling to understand this hypothetical character.

Because he "tells it how it is", is not politically correct, etc in my opinion

Ah. Because "loose parent" makes me think of a thirty-something man who is too interested in hanging out with friends at hipster bars to spend time enforcing rules with his child. Definitely not a Trump voter.
What I had in mind is a voter who’s 18, 19, or in their 20s and had/has parents who never let them hang out with friends and restricted their media consumption.
