Describe a voter, who hypothetically lived from 1939 and died this year, in 2022.

1960: Nixon
1964: Johnson (Primary: Rockefeller)
1968: Nixon
1972: Nixon
1976: Ford (Primary: Ford)
1980: Reagan (Primary: Bush)
1984: Reagan
1988: Bush (Primary: Bush)
1992: Bush
1996: Clinton (Primary: Lugar)
2000: Bush (Primary: McCain)
2004: Bush
2008: Obama (Primary: McCain)
2012: Romney (Primary: Romney)
2016: Clinton (Primary: Rubio)
2020: Biden (Primary: Klobuchar)

I have a brief description in mind but I was curious to see what Atlas thought.

Someone who is slightly but consistently right-wing in ideology, but votes Democratic if they feel the Republican candidate is too extreme/out there (1964, 2016, 2020), or if the Democratic candidate is very moderate (1996), or if the national campaign/environment favors the Democrat strongly (2008). Probably college educated.

Vaguely socially liberal balanced budget business type.

White, and definitely from the North or West, as shown by the rejection of Jimmy Carter twice. Well educated, and living to at least 104. This person prefers supposed moderates within the GOP and apparently saw Reagan and both Bushes as such. Found Obama necessary in 2008, but no longer relevant in 2012. Recognized Trump for what he is and despised him. Voted in the D primary for the first time in 2020 out of contempt for Trump.
 

Old-style GOP who went Democratic only in D landslides or near-landslides, until Trump came along.

I'm surprised you wouldn't have voted for Goldwater & McCain
Anyways to answer OP's question I'd go with someone from NoVa or maybe California.

Goldwater eh, maybe, probably, but realistically at the time I couldn't say. I did not like his civil rights stance.

McCain I definitely would have.

Other than McCain and Clinton in 1996 this hypothetical person is right on the money tho.

I agree with ExtremeRepublican's description on this for sure as well.

A pretty standard Liberal ex-Republican who became a Democrat 10 years ago, George Will comes to mind (though he supported Reagan).
Probably a National Review subscriber in his last years.

Very Establishment, well educated, lived in a suburb, management or university professor or worked in the federal bureaucracy.

Upstate NY Moderate who was turned off by Goldwater, didn't really catch what the deal was with Watergate, was skeptical of Perot, wasn't a fan of the Gingrich/Dole shenanigans of 95-96, grew disillusioned after the 08 crash, and the final nail in the coffin for their R support was DJT
