I'll give you medicare/medicaid (even though I oppose both), but the CRA and VRA were more products of republican legislators that he happened to sign. They weren't the product of his machinations.

In his first 20 years as a lawmaker, LBJ opposed every civil rights bill. Every one.

No it wasn't. It was called for by JFK and passed by a group of Northern Republican and Democrats. This was before the 1964 Political Shift, where both parties had conservative and liberal wings, somewhat regional.

After the shift southern conservative democrats began the shift to the Republican party which was cemented by the Southern Strategy of Nixon.
