You got a lot more conservative in the mid-20th Century, what happend?

If anything I would have identified as a conservative Democrat (that's what my family was) but the Democratic Party became too liberal. Eisenhower on the otherhand (without hindsight) would have been a one-off vote for a great man and president.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the most economically leftist President ever, though...

True, but in those days, each party had conservative and liberal wings, so a conservative could have been either a Democrat or a Republican, just like a liberal could be either. Plus, the context of the Great Depression probably somewhat justified many of his policies.

You don't seriously believe a staunch economic conservative should vote for FDR or that taxes should be raised during a depression, do you?
