What if the early '60s were marked by even more racial tension and knee jerk reactions than IOTL and a growing number of Americans stood opposed to the Civil Rights Movement, with the 1960 Civil Rights Act passing but the '64 one failing. By the 1964 Presidential Election, in close primaries, Barry Goldwater becomes the Republican Presidential Nominee and George Wallace becomes the Democratic Presidential Nominee.

What would the result of this election be? I feel like this would make the 60s remain conservative (at least politically), so what that mean that the '70s would be even more left wing? The Civil Rights Movement's goals would have almost definitely be accomplished by modern times, but how much further would this be pushed off?
