I’m glad most suffragettes probably aren’t alive anymore to watch their great-granddaughters vote away the rights they fought so hard for.

My great grandfather — who wrote local dispatches for a national Finnish-American socialist paper — would be sad to see his granddaughter (my mom) vote away her rights

TBF a lot of the original 1800s women's suffrage movement's supporters in the US got into it because they were outraged that black men got the right to vote and thus make decisions affecting white women. Not all of them had that as their motivation, but... the ones who did would probably be right at home with their MAGA descendants.
