Afaik someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the Democratic party used to be the fiscal conservative party in the 1800s

You're correct. Teddy Roosevelt, one of the most progressive Presidents in history, was on the Republican ticket against Taft in 1912. I cannot fathom having had the ability to vote for Teddy, and voting for either Taft or Wilson.
