With all this massive leap backwards in the USA, will Trump reintroduce prohibition?

Frankly, the current war on drugs isn't too far off from prohibition in many aspects...

No, actually ... sequestration, and everything that Ms. Clinton
might have brought forward from the obama years, would have been the closest thing to prohibition.
The 'massive leap backwards' will not occur due to the election of Donald Trump.
It is a fabrication by most of the US media due to the fact that they need s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g to use against the
new Administration, since they did not prepare the American Public for the fact that Hillary might actually lose.
The US media is trying to "save face" by down-playing Donald Trump
before he is even able to make 1-Executive decision, by waging a war that does not need to be fought.

I'm no fan of Trump but to say he isn't a * modern * politician whatever that really means is missing the point. We need to seeing neo liberalism as the only thing that is modern as it is a massive blind spot that people like Trump take full advantage of.

Alcohol consumption isn't on the agenda. The Prohibition laws followed on the heels of women's right to vote, because they'd suffered too much from husbands who came home drunk and beat them. Prohibition isn't an issue right now.

Why prohibition when he reverse Andrew Jackson? Why not go right back to slavery. Oh yeah, because we already have slavery - its called the American prison system.

It's a massive leap forward actually to all right minded people, not to sheep like you.
