GOP votes for the Civil Rights Act isn't the beginning & end of the story, but it's key context if you want Goldwater as your Emmanuel Goldstein. Goldwater himself had often stood up for civil rights, his running mate supported the bill, & most opponents weren't libertarians.https://twitter.com/BigAndjSchwartz/status/1163857878379323393 …

Goldwater is always the target for historians who want to tie conservatives repubs to racism. He uses the Dixiecrats as the catalyst, yet ignores Goldwater and GOP support of Civil Rights throughout the ‘50s. Also, more GOP conservatives voted for CRA64 than against it.
