liberals voted FOR the 1964 civil rights act

Define "liberals".

Why African Americans vote 95% dem in every election!

Despite the fact that 80 to 82% of Republicans (depending on which version of the act and which vote your counting) voted for the act while only 61 to 69% of the Democrats did.

The big transition for them to vote for the Democratic party really started with FDR. That despite the fact that he put in place laws and rules to favor white workers over black workers, and presided over a segregated military, a segregation that was created by a previous president from his own party (Wilson) just a couple of decades earlier.
