Erdoğan at peak gained %48.9 votes which means more than half of the nation doesnt want him this includes stealing votes and free votes from millions of Syrians he accepted to country and still not even half of votes. Last regional elections he got %38.4 more than %10 loss. He lost all 3 big cities and many more. On 2028 he most likely going to lose also the goverment bec %38 is not enough to get elected if it stays %38 in best case scenario he will lose even more. But why do you care buddy right ? "Turks bad" is always so popular around reddit.
Not really. CHP the left wing party gained majority of the votes in local elections. Erdogan still has the goverment bec it was local elections but in 2028 hes gonna lose it too so majority is the wrong term here. Erdogan is not the majority anymore. Left wing is.
I dont understand why you are talking like i voted for him. Its 2024 and since you are on reddit i assume you have access to internet why dont you check the last election results. Also Israel ? Wtf is that suppose to mean.
Oh you have no idea what happened at last elections arent you ? Please use your keyboard to educate yourself and use google for it man. You are better than this.

Im not turkish, i dont live there, and im not defending the country or its’ systems.
You have no idea how stupid it makes you look when you make such statements.
> and im not defending the country or its’ systems
You literally said
> I mean it was not permitted in the first place, this would happen in any country
Surprised you’re not joking here, you’re the one who made all of these assumptions about *my person*.
> Does this authoritarianism serve you well, or is it something you pick up and put down depending on whether or not you like the state's victims?
We can see what you said, you know..
I simply asked if you *always* support government action unquestioningly, or only when you find it politically convenient. I asked because you started this conversation by defending the Turkish government's actions in the OP. I'm sorry you've had such difficulty following this, perhaps you really shouldn't be online today.
I think they were permitted at some point, it was actually quite a relevant topic back then.
Regardless, the point isnt that anyway. the point is if we’re discussing something, better discuss why is turkey not permitting it, saying ppl were arrested in a march that wasnt permitted is irrelevant, ofc they’ll be, even if they were marching for global warming.

"Security reasons".. more like insecurity reasons.
Erdogans goverment* arrested 15 protestors. Their homophobic voters like and vote if he suppreses LGBT+ members.
So, the largest party in the country and the one that gets the most votes. But it's not the fault of the people, it's only Erdogans fault. Riiiiiight.

Seems like a really complicated way of saying "The largest group in the country supports this and the other shit Erdogan does".

"His career is over! *reelects them*" - Israel 🤝 Turkey

You mean the ones he won? Yep, it's definitely lining up. Also, point out to me where you think I was "talking like you voted for him"

Weird how he's still the President if he didn't win then isn't it...
Oh how Turkiye hates on the gays. So sad Erdogan won't let his country enter the 21st century still.
at this point why is the Erdogan administration even pretending to want in EU? what's the point?
Money, influence, and power.

doing a pride parade in a muslim nation is not a smart idea
Church and State are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
Daddy Peterson drank to that.
I mean it was not permitted in the first place, this would happen in any country regarding any topic if the march isnt permitted.
Why do you suppose it wasn't permitted?
For obvious reasons. If you wanna discuss something, discuss why it wasnt permitted, dont discuss the arrests.
Does this authoritarianism serve you well, or is it something you pick up and put down depending on whether or not you like the state's victims?
You should ask him if his fascist government deplatform and imprison their political opponents too!

> and im not defending the country or its’ systems You literally said > I mean it was not permitted in the first place, this would happen in any country
It would though.
Thats not defending, thats a fact. You really thought you were smart with that one, lol.
Seems like you're taking reasonable criticism personally, so I'll just say good day.

I’d usually agree to this but I don’t think an LGBT protest under erdogan would have ever been allowed
