Here's hoping this turns out to be their LBJ moment, who commented upon signing the Civil Rights Act, I paraphrase here: "We (meaning Democrats) just lost the entire south for at least a generation".
Although the HUGE difference is that LBJ did the correct and decent thing, and it was all done within the letter and spirit of the law, while all these ignorant, festering right-wing republicans fail miserably in every one of these qualities.
