- Sitting president controls all branches of the government including the supreme court
- State-controlled TV media and propaganda channels through state-controlled social media
- US rubbing shoulders with other autocrats & dictators, and now part of the UN voting block with north korea / syria / eritrea / russia / etc
- President threatening members of the opposing parties of arrest under treason charges
- USA kidnapped another country's leader, because of their oil (ZERO pretense)
- USA currently threatening to seize land from a sovereign EU nation with pro-MAGAs justifying it at every step
- Did you already forget that your sitting president attempted a coup or what?
I just picked some obvious ones, but the list is long. Devin Stone made a good video about it a month ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn-rkKIMNAs)
Hyperbole? Gimme a break. The rest of the world is watching and knows you're deep in it now. Just because it was not immediately a dictatorship in his first term doesn't mean it hasn't progressed and gotten worse ever since - You're still living in 2015.

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

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!
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.
That EU nation can join NATO to prevent it.
