Another foolish aspect is the idea that any other President beside Johnson would've been even able to sign the Civil Rights Act. Johnson rammed it through on savvy and swindle. A nice guy from the North like Kennedy would not have gotten it done. Nixon wouldn't have bothered. It might not have been law until the Carter Administration if it weren't for LBJ and who knows then with how much Carter relied on Southern support. Would Reagan have bothered? Bush Sr. have the stones?

I mean, just thinking about the domino effect of Presidents and Congresses after LBJ and honestly the can could've been kicked way to the 1990s and set this country back immensely.

The fake blue avatar strikes again!  Every POTUS you named would have signed it.  LBJ's racial hero status in your post is comical.  Even if you're making the asinine assertion that Johnson, a personally racist Southern Democrat who'd expressed sympathies toward segregation as a Senator, was either somehow more eager for racial equality or more able to swing his party than the others you mentioned (again, both are ridiculous), you're completely ignoring the fact that any non-Southern President would have certainly capitalized on the political momentum to sign it by 1964.
