Wasn’t that the primary driving factor behind the prohibition? After the CIA, of course.
That’d be pretty impressive considering the predecessor to the CIA wasn’t formed until WW2.
But yes, Protestants and feminists in the 1910s and 20s were often strong supporters of prohibition. Protestants because it hurt Catholics, and feminists because alcohol abuse was considered a contributor to domestic abuse.
tbf, alcohol abuse was fucking rampant. I ain’t sayin’ I agree, just sayin’ I get why they might have thought it was worth a shot without any easy examples of how badly prohibitions go.
Probably could’ve phrased that better, the CIA was a joke based on how they did introduce shitloads of crack to black communities and have a history of fucking over US citizens they didn’t like
I fucking love that church ladies are on here. It takes a village.
