Likely a successful farmer from the Plains who had weathered the storm of the early 1930s and was back to business as usual, but the Republican revival there was more significant in 1940 and it was primarily due to isolationism and the end of the Dust Bowl for everyone. This voter could have also been a character pretty unique to 1936, the progressive Republican who agreed with some New Deal programs but found them inefficient.

Against Prohibition and/or Smoot-Hawley but also against the New Deal.

Hilariously I could see John Garner himself voting this way if he wasn't on the ticket in 36.

Considering how he famously described the Vice Presidency, he honestly still might have.

She was against Prohibition and saw Hoover as a statist. She did not vote for Roosevelt again after that.

Yeah, I can pretty easily see a libertarian voting FDR in 1932 over opposition to prohibition and tarrifs, but flipping to Republican afterwards.
