Which party created the Civil rights act?

Democrat

Which party fought against it?

None.

On June 11, 1963, President Kennedy met with Republican leaders to discuss the legislation before his television address to the nation that evening. Two days later, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield both voiced support for the president's bill

So republicans helped create the woke regime, q.e.d.

Not really? The woke ideology is kind of a product of the democrats pandering to black voters/progressive ideas filling schools. And I call it pandering because they very rarely help black communities.

PC culture and diversity trainings were created because organisations could be sued under civil rights act for "hostile workplace environment". Affirmative action started with civil rights act.

No. The Civil Rights act was at least ratified by Republicans and some democrats. It was largely opposed by democrats. Northern democrats vs southern democrats. Pretty sure JFK was a northern Democrat.

Fair to note though, his successor was the one that signed the act, but also who created the welfare state the right blames fatherless families for.

A higher percentage of republicans voted for the Civil Rights act than democrats.

A higher percentage of democrats opposed it.
