pass.
Just like that, Douglas, a living monument to New Deal liberalism and judicial activism, has fallen.

Uncomfortably close to all the commotion surrounding the campaign against Douglas are the midterm elections. Two years prior, the American people's indecisiveness resulted in a split government being in office. 1962 won't be the Republicans' year to make significant strides in unseating the permanent Democratic majority. However, it's the upper echelon of the White House's hope that decisive action could change enough minds to catch a second wind ahead of the re-election campaign.
The primary influence across states during the election season is momentum. The earlier a party spends to expend momentum in a state, and the more races in a state a party invests in, the more tangible results will be.

Shortly after the midterms' conclusion, former First Lady, Senator, and public titan Eleanor Roosevelt will pass away. With her legacy, she leaves unfinished work on righting the original sin of the American nation. At her funeral, Nixon will watch her live on from the grave, tormenting him, watching Kennedy greet Dr. King, surely scheming. With her death, the civil rights issue finds new life, as a new crisis emerges for Nixon to bear.

One doesn't need to look far to see the impact the civil rights debate has already made upon the country. Not only are the President and Kennedy united in unholy matrimony as a result, but the South is the undeniable mover in the Senate. Neither party truly wants the issue to re-enter the public's mindset, but past a certain point, the rot in the country begins to stink.

The problem of civil rights is divorced from any bill that the President could sign into law. The civil rights debate is present in how millions of Americans live their day-to-day lives. As the consequences of inaction escalate, evident to the rest of the Americans sitting comfortably behind their television sets, the necessity of action only grows. Here, it becomes abundantly clear that the White House needs to take a formal stance on the issue.

This civil rights bill will pass. There will be no unexpected veto, a sudden change of heart from its sponsors, or an immediate dissipation in the activists moving it forward. Nixon cannot take a stand against the bill, looking as if he endorses racial violence, but he can't very well sign the bill and keep up his flirtations with the South. There has to be a way out, lest he end up swallowing the poison pill the liberals shove down his throat.
For success, Nixon must insert himself into the movement early on. Steal the thunder from any liberals, especially Kennedy, and become an authority on the issue. If he can manage, he'll find another man wrestling with the same predicament.
Lyndon Johnson's quest for the Presidency has taken him to stranger lands. He's used to breaking bread with northern liberals like Humphrey and kissing the ring on Russell's hand the next. This new bill presents him with a problem. How is he supposed to champion the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt, while being cheered on by a man like King, and still plead for the support of the South in '64? He can't. Working with Nixon, he'll find himself a welcome guest at the White House.

Kaiserreich Nixon died so that TNO Nixon could experience a glorious rejuvenation.
