However, imagine a scenario where Republicans know a Civil Rights bill will pass. Just know it. And they get presented with a watered down affair. They vote for it, hoping to get away with less of a bill, and the Democrats vote against it, hoping to get the full bill out on the table.

The watered down version passes, and Republicans brag. It's an easy mistake to make. However, it did take Northern Democrats and Republicans to get what we got.

Check the attitude of Republicans toward the UN resolution on the rights of women. Or the Republicans on the rights of American women, the ERA. There's a bit of work for you.
