No, actually, through a campaign of propaganda that wasn't stopped.

Goebbels himself remarked how stupid the institutions were for granting them freedom of speech:

> When our enemies say: well, we gave you the freedom of opinion back then- yeah, you gave it to us, that's in no way evidence that we should return the favor! Your stupidity shall not be contagious! That you granted it to us is evidence of how dumb you are!

-- Joseph Goebbels, 1935

> Mussolini introduced women suffrage, I'm not joking.

No single person introduced women suffrage. It emerged through independent movements across different countries.

That said, it is generally accepted that New Zealand (1893) was the first self-governing country to grant women the right to vote nationally. Key figure: Kate Sheppard.

Earlier partial or local suffrage: Sweden 1718 - 1772 (limited), US 1869 (Wyoming territory).

Key global leaders of women suffrage: UK - Emmeline Pankhurst, US - Susan B Anthony, Elizabeth C Stanton (results in 19th Amendment)

Global timeline: 1893 New Zealand, 1902 Australia (with racial exceptions), 1913 - 1918 Nordics, 1918 - 1920 UK and US, 1945-1960s Much of Asia, Africa, and Middle East, 1971 Switzerland!

> That's what it was

Fake electors plot, Georgia phone call to "find 11600 votes". You seem convinced that he just talks, we have ample evidence that isn't true.

> Even if they took over Congress, would that need they would be the new Congress? You really believe that?

I was unaware conspiracies are only illegal if they succeed.
