You forgot the 18th amendment, originally the Volstead Act, meant to shut down German American biergartens. This from the same President who banned the performance of works of Beethoven. His insufferable superiority, echoed in modern woke sorts, is captured in a story by the late, great Angelo Codevilla:
"I remember a classmate of mine saying, 'Why, man, can’t you let anything alone?' I said, ' I let everything alone that you can show me is not itself moving in the wrong direction, but I am not going to let those things alone that I see are going downhill.'"
Downhill, of course, being anyone making a decision a Prog does not agree with. German-American Mencken captured this sense from Wilson when he wrote that Puritanism is the sneaking suspicion that someone may be happy.
Hold on...you also forgot about the 19th Amendment -- giving women the right to vote. When I trace back to slide of America into a country where feminization rules, this is the starting point. Women are different than men; we can agree on that. And they tend to cast their votes for the most photogenic and the con-artists who claim to care about the electorate ("I feel your pain.") Women vote using their "feelings" about candidates rather than use logic to vote for those who understand and want to protect the constitution, along with the power of laissez-faire capitalism to secure and improve our future.
