So, I was about to say: "Wait, wait... I was following your mis-reading up until 'prohibition'. Huh? Where'd that one come from?"

And then I went and googled some history and oh look, "Progressive" used to be applied to the "moral fabric" movement that gave us Prohibition. Huh.

You're right, I give up; political labels are completely useless.

(But yeah, as you figured out, *today's* meaning of the label Progressive tends towards the socially liberal and plenty of social programs sector. Not likely to be prohibiting much of anything.)
