By "ultra-American imperialist", I mean someone who wants the United States to conquer and annex every single country in the entire world.

Assume they are moderate on domestic issues.

How would they vote in the following elections?

1976
1980
1984
1988
1992
1996
2000
2004
2008
2012
2016
2020

Definitely Republican in 1972-1988 and 2004-2012.

I think you misunderstand slightly. They want to increase the power of the United States, giving power to a reactionary segregationist party would not serve that purpose. How could the US rule over Africa if they cannot accept blacks as equal citizens? European colonialism is dead and domestic strife would decrease US power and increase the appeal of communism worldwide, especially in Africa.

They could of course simply be a dimwitted white nationalist, but that's not the premise we're working with. This is someone relatively moderate domestically.

It depends. Do we mean Scoop Jackson imperialism or Cheney imperialism?

None of the above

I am talking about someone who wants the United States to invade, conquer, and annex every single country in the entire world---without exception.

Anyway they are probably Republican up until 2016. Their vote in 2016 depends on their appetite for peaceful conquest via some sort of World Government lead of course by the greatest nation on Earth. A neoliberal world order lead by the enlightened American intellectual aristocracy is still US conquest as long as world federal or confederal structures are suitably subverted to US control. If they're set on military conquest (Alexander the Great, Napoleon, that guy with the mustache), then they would probably remain loyal to the GOP.

Their favorite presidents would be Reagan and both Bushes, the former two for dealing with the USSR, and Dubya for the neoconservative ideology and conquest of the future states of Iraq and Afghanistan. Their opinion of Trump depends on how fascist they are, and also if they believe in the reactionary "dark enlightenment" which is essentially neo-fascist in character. Trump is isolationist, opposing US conquest of Mexico and is perceived as friendly with a movement to strengthen Russia instead of further preparing it for annexation. Trump also ruined what remained of Dubya's reputation, and this person holds Dubya in esteem for the Iraq War.

Even with these issues in mind, this person would still find some positives with Trump. Trump has stood against the various states of China, which is good, as the various US states of the Chinese cultural region should not be united and should not be allowed to become another counterweight to US hegemony like the USSR was. This also contributes to preparing the US states of Japan, Korea (only the south matters, the north can just be conquered), and Taiwan for annexation.

This is not someone with a high opinion of Obama (leaving the state of Iraq) or Biden (leaving the state of Afghanistan). Clinton wasn't as bad, as he did prepare Albania and Bosnia for annexation.

1976: idk
1980: Reagan. Carter clearly is the wrong man to conquer the world.
1984: Reagan
1988: Bush
1992: Bush
1996: Dole? I know Dole was bold on supporting the US recognizing Taiwan at one point.
2000: Dubya? I don't remember how interventionist he was during the campaign. He'd certainly vote Dubya with hindsight.
2004: Dubya enthusiastically
2008: McCain
2012: Romney
2016: see above
2020: Could see this person being a Clinton-Trump voter, if he voted Clinton.

I think this person would have enthusiastically supported Trump over his attempts to buy Greenland from Denmark.

This person definitely went for Ford (who had tried to stop the complete end of US support for South Vietnam post-Watergate) over "human rights agenda" Carter in 1976.

If anything, this would actually make less sense than "Democratic from day one to the end" for this hypothetical voter, considering the Democrats' liberal internationalism (which arguably dates back to Jefferson's "empire of liberty" and the Jacksonians' "Manifest Destiny") and the paleoconservative/isolationist element of the AIP (despite the fact that the AIP was not as uniformly anti-interventionist as many today would be inclined to believe).

Likely a very partisan Republican before 2016 and thinks Reagan is the greatest post-Lincoln President.

Their favorite presidents would probably be James Polk and Thomas Jefferson. They would hate Harry Truman for letting the Philippines become independent.

The other President they might hate is Carter for giving up the Panama Canal Zone. Besides those 2, there are other Presidents they might like for expanding the US, including Monroe, Pierce, Andrew Johnson, McKinley, and both Roosevelts.
