I doubt it, He aligned heavily with the "civil rights" movement which was of/for/by democrats, which today has been warped into "cultural marxism". He was given the Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award at one point - stood with feminists, though he was anti-abortion. If he were alive today he'd likely be a republican, if not only because of their pro-life stance, though it's not certain because many black Christians find "cultural marxism" and "equality" to be bigger political draws than their pro-life and Christian values.

Civil Rights movement was by the Republicans not Democrats. Republicans even saved the slaves. Just FYI: you've been lied to, brainwashed.

On June 10, 1964, Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.

The Democratic Party was started when the slave owners broke off from the Democratic-Republican Party (formed by Thomas Jefferson) and formed the Democratic Party. The entire civil war was basically Republicans (the North) vs Democrats (the south).

Democrats were pro-slavery.

You seem to thinking that LBJ's 'great society reforms' were a good thing and that you should want its credit to be assigned to the political party you support. This is wrong. While i agree that they wouldn't have passed without support from both parties, we should be able to agree with 20/20 hindsight that they were terrible idea and that multiculturalism was a failure - thus why push the idea that "hey guys republicans wanted this too". I'm sure you are aware of the constant political shifting and history of these parties from Linclon to Nixon, so i'll spare you and just assume you know all of that.

They were also the majority of the "Nay" votes on the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Jim Crow laws were an admirable attempt at helping blacks in america, in that 'separate but equal' was almost prophetic at how multiculturalism would fail as it has. Now 50 years on black americans are the ones pushing for segregation and separate but equal. Sadly the southern white democrats who supported Jim Crow were forced to the republican party shortly after LBJ's 'great society' reforms and Nixons 'southern strategy'. Also, are you suggesting "civil rights/cultural marxism" were a good thing and are somehow upset that democrats are getting the credit?
