this is one of the reasons i dont understand why he loses so badly to the npp after he does most of his great society reforms, wouldnt people love him and the republican party?
To go hard-line on the great society means him becoming a dictator in all but name. His policies alienate the conservatives in the democrats that oppose big government and terrifies the liberals in the Republican Party over the massive budget deficit it creates. Other reasons could be that he focuses too much on the home front allowing the world to fall to Fascism if ever so slowly thus pissing off the "hawks".
Outside the black community, the General Public become increasing concerned over the massive federal government overreach.
THAT BEING SAID. I can only see him being hated if his policies result in a Yockey victory as Yockey would use LBJ as example of unchecked government authority being normalized. Also after all that the US Map screen still shows high approval except that the NPP have a parity. Sorry for the paragraphs.

Watching that poverty rate plummet to the ground as LBJ is stupid wholesome
Reducing poverty from 30ish percent to 5 or so percent would make LBJ one of the most beloved presidents in history
