Describe a Parker 1904/Hoover 1932 voter

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Maybe a xenophobic Democrat in IN or OH? Parker won several counties there after all.

[Skill and Chance]

Parker was one of the last laissez faire Democrats on economics, right?  If so, it's totally reasonable someone high up in the business world back then would support both Parker over Teddy Roosevelt and Hoover over Franklin Roosevelt for that reason.

Parker had highly vague political beliefs, and was the least remarkable major-party nominee in US history, so there's likely not much.

Some Northeastern Copperhead counties voted this way, such as Schoharie NY, Sussex NJ, & Hunterdon NJ,

Some old third party system style northern conservadems

[TDAS04]

Someone who just hated anyone named "Roosevelt."

Someone who just hated anyone named "Roosevelt."

On this note, someone who really hates the Dutch.

Gold standard purists?

Parker was one of the last laissez faire Democrats on economics, right?

That's a commonly believed misconception, but he only seemed that way because both him and Roosevelt were progressive; he actually attacked Roosevelt from the left for not doing enough economically. The only laissez-faire Democrat until at least 1976 was John Davis.

Copperheads

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

A Democrat who strongly supported Prohibition.

Also, perhaps Al Smith?

Smith campaigned for Roosevelt in 1932 and didn't turn on him until later.

What about Al Smith, who turned against the New Deal and endorsed Landon & Willkie?

As I just said, not in 1932 though.

I knew Smith supported FDR in 1932, I was asking if Smith was a "laissez-faire Democrat" considering his opposition to the New Deal.

Not exactly, he was a progressive Democrat, but he had different ideas about the relationship between business and government than FDR. One could also argue that he was actually more motivated by bitterness over FDR beating him out for the nomination in 1932 and basically pushing him out of the spotlight as the king of urban Democrats while also being far more successful at winning over Southern/rural voters.

Oh also the idea that Carter or any major post-1976 Democrat was "laissez faire" is utterly ridiculous, but that's another story.
