the radical evangelicals have always hated the civil rights bills Johnson pushed passage of. claim it was second only to the new deal in inking the 'downfall' of America.
they believe it never could have passed without Kennedy being martyred
so all the white pastors are pushing to have trump meet the same fate as soon as possible

What a difference a death makes: JFK, LBJ, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964
When the Kennedy assassination occurred in November 1963, it was not clear that his civil rights bill would pass without major modifications, and most Americans told pollsters that they were unsure of his policy. Fifty years later, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is seen by Kennedy apologists as evidence of what JFK could have achieved had he lived, and by Lyndon Johnson biographers as evidence of LBJ’s superior political skill. This article argues that Kennedy’s death made a difference but not simply by replacing one president with another. Far more importantly, it amplified pressure for action on moral and emotive grounds, mobilizing church groups (particularly midwestern Protestant ones), energizing liberal congressional leaders, and changing the mindset of US Justice Department insiders who moved from a posture of defending Kennedy from the minefield of the race question to acting to fulfill his legacy. The violent death and public reaction also shaped the conduct of moderate Republicans whose support for the measure was the margin of victory. The strategy for passing the Civil Rights Act did not change significantly after the events in Dallas, but the formula for success did.

How John F Kennedy's assassination spurred the drive for racial equality
With a Dixiecrat voting record on issues of civil rights, the new president was hardly looked upon by African-Americans as a safe pair of hands, but in his first address to Congress, Johnson vowed – for the nation, as a tribute to his slaughtered predecessor and undoubtedly for himself – to see Kennedy's civil rights bill through to law. And this he did by a combination of appeals to conscience, sweet talk, threats and by refusing to put anything else, at all, before Congress until the bill was passed.

What if JFK had survived his assassination?
After Kennedy’s death, President Johnson told the nation that passing the Civil Rights Act would be the best way to honor Kennedy’s legacy, but it took until July 1964 for Johnson and his allies to get the act approved.

the intolerance of the old order is emerging from the rosy mist in which it has hitherto been obscured.
