Watching a PBS doc on the voting rights movement, I see more clearly the integration of alcohol & other addiction industries w/ corruption and violence.
- addictive products exploited men of their meager wages, harming mental health, misogyny, & violence
- saloons were monopolistic social media of their era, performing many civic functions including polling
- many women sought the vote to regulate alcohol
- so alcohol businesses mobilized their addicted clients against women’s right to vote
